Am working on a development task at home. I am running a django developoment site on my machine. I can access it simply at
http://localhost:8000.
I decided to try and forward that port temporarily so that I can test a paypal integration.
I found that I cannot access the server from any other machine- including the machine with the server on it. From the same browser with the webpage displayed, I get
`Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to 192.168.1.7:8000`
I tried to forward the port with Windows firewall, and when that didn't work, I turned it off completely. I figure I am missing something obvious but am not sure what it is.
Yeah, turns out there is a configuration for the django development server I was not aware of. lol Thanks! – None – 2014-02-23T05:35:20.877
If anyone needs to know how to do this, python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000 will accomplish it. – None – 2014-02-23T05:36:02.520
Happy to help Paul, I can't count the number of times I've mis-configured Apache and been left scratching my head as to why pages didn't come up. – George Spiceland – 2014-02-23T05:38:24.520
