Question

I followed the instructions here to run Django using the built-in webserver and was able to successfully run it using python manage.py runserver. If I access 1

Answer 1

just do this:

python manage.py runserver 0:8000

by the above command you are actually binding it to the external IP address. so now when you access your IP address with the port number, you will be able to access it in the browser without any problem.

just type in the following in the browser address bar:

:8000

eg:

you may have to edit the settings.py add the following in the settings.py in the last line:

ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['*']

hope this will help...
