Django manage.py runserver never finishes "validating models" - django

I am trying to follow the django tutorial. I am running on windows+eclipse.
When I run python manage.py runserver I get the message Validating models... and afterwards see no progress...
Am I doing something wrong?

I've got my answer in another question: can't get django to work in eclipse + windows
When I ran the server with the --noreload option, I saw that there's an exception thrown. After I fixed that, the output does complete, and says:
Validating models...
0 errors found
Django version 1.2.1, using settings 'XXX'
Development server is running at http://127.0.0.1:8000/
Quit the server with CTRL-BREAK.

The shell is running the runserver process, and it won't go back to a command prompt until the server process ends. So, this sounds normal.
Is the server functioning?

You could possibly be importing something in your models.py file that is failing in another file. I had an import in a try/catch clause that caused this behavior. Installing the missing dependency fixed the problem.

This is what you're supposed to see. If you make a request to your test site (via your browser), you will see the log of the request. If you don't see that, then something else is wrong.

Internal server error running Django on Heroku accessing from browser

I think this is a simple fix, but I've deployed quite a few Django apps to Heroku and I still can't figure out what's going on.
Accessing https://dundjeon-finder.herokuapp.com/ gives me a 500 error when using the browser/curl, but if I shell into the app using heroku run ./manage.py shell I can render the views no problem. My logs aren't telling me anything (just that the response is 500) despite DEBUG being set to True, and Sentry isn't receiving an error (it has previously when the database env variable was set badly), so I'm assuming it's something to do with the way the request works.
The repo is public, any help would be much appreciated! The settings file is here.
Well it was because of using asgi instead of wsgi. I'm not sure why that caused the errors, but will do some more searching.

Google Chrome does not show the back end error

I want chrome to show the error by detail but it doesn't!

I want something like this.

Seems like you don't have the server running.
Try opening your terminal on the folder you have installed Django.
Then run:
python manage.py runserver
And see if you can access it.
Additionally, make sure you have set up DEBUG = True in your settings.py file.

changes to settings.py not updating

I am trying to get a django app to work on ubuntu with apache.
I am getting the error message "You may need to add 'x.x.x.x' to ALLOWED_HOSTS."
I have made the changes to settings.py, but still get the error message. I can see in the debug output that it looks like the changes I made to settings.py are not taking effect. I have tried restarting apache ( /etc/init.d/apache2 restart) but still no help.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
thanks!

Do you have ALLOWED_HOSTS defined 2 times in settings.py ? It should be defined only 1 time.
Are you managing your project files on the Ubuntu server directly or via FTP?
Just add sudo before when running server script using python and it works like a charm. ex
sudo python3 manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

Django is giving me a 404 error

I installed Django, and it works. I set it up so it uses my mysql database, and I started a project. So far so good.
I followed the tutorial on setting up your first Django app over at
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/intro/tutorial01/
It is a tutorial over setting up a pre-existing poll app where everything has practically been built for you. The database structure has even been handled.
I ran:
python manage.py startapp polls
python manage.py sql polls
python manage.py syncdb
I didn't receive any kind of success message so I went into my phpmyadmin, and hooray! There are new tables and rows in my database.
Their tutorial then told me to run:
python manage.py shell
and that I'd see some database stuff, but I didn't. Why could this be? I ignored it and went on to step two. I still hadn't set DEBUG in my settings.py to False so I did. Only to get a 500 error.
After some digging I read I needed to add:
ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['my ip address'];
I did this and now after running:
python manage.py runserver myip:8000
When I try to access Django in my browser I get a
Not Found
The requested URL / was not found on this server.
Obviously / changes to a different location when navigating to those places as well, but the point is I get a 404 no matter what.
So I look at my terminal and I have a yellow message in my terminal that says.
"GET / HTTP/1.1" 404 74
and there is 1 message like this for each place I tried to access.
I'm thinking there is a Python package that I don't have installed on my server?
I do not want to use ALLOWED_HOSTS ['*'] I read that this is bad practice. I did try it and it produces the same results as using my ip address in place of the * (I just wanted to add that extra piece of info in case it helps)
If you want to use the database shell, you should run the dbshell command instead of shell as in your post, like this:
python manage.py dbshell
If you run shell, you get a Python shell, where you can easily import and inspect the Python objects of your project.
On your local PC, it's better to have DEBUG = True in your settings.py. That way you don't need to bother about ALLOWED_HOSTS, because in debug mode all hosts are allowed. Secondly, when you get a 404 error in debug mode, the page will show you the valid URLs that you can try.
The Django tutorial certainly works. The only way it won't work for you is if you missed a step or mistyped something somewhere. If you start over and pay extra attention, I think it will work.

django and sqlite on production! my db file has nothing, why?

i am stuck again in one problem. i have been delevoping my project locally in django. everything works fine, and now i uploaded all project to server(virtual). now my db is not working, i mean, once i click the button which should bring data from db, it doesnot bring anything from db. can it be that i configured my sqlite on server in a wrong way?
basically i did nothing on server, so i think i should first configure my sqlite on server then it will work right? can you please help me how to do this. OS is linux. i hope, the configuration doesnot differ that much between OS versions of linux..
thanks
Have you installed your project's dependencies?
Are you running a virtualenv or system environment?
What do you mean with 'click a button', post the script behind it
Does your production environment runserver without errors?
Try the command line and check for errors:
./manage.py syncdb
errors ?
./manage.py runserver
errors ?
./manage.py shell
>> from django.contrib.auth.models import User
>> print User.objects.all()
errors ?
>> import sqlite3
errors ?
