Re: Newbie question about accesing my development Django instance from other computers in my LAN

[Christopher Downard]

Try python manage.py runserver 192.168.1.116 where that address is your computer's address.

Hi,

I am new to Django. I am developing my first app on a Windows 7 laptop. I want other people to be able to connect to this app. As indicated in the documentation, I start the server with:

python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

And then I try to access my app from another laptop pointing the browser to:

192.168.1.116:8000/myapp/

Where 192.168.1.116 is the ip address of the laptop where my app resides

1) Am I using the correct URL?

2) Is there anything in Windows 7 that I have to change for other laptops to be able to access my app?

Thanks

Thanks. It didn't work, though. In the development laptop I started the server with python manage.py runserver  192.168.1.116:8000 

In the laptop where I am trying to access the app, I typed in the browser:  192.168.1.116:8000/page/ where page is what I am trying to access

Assuming both laptops are connected to the same local network (192.168.1.*) then it should be able to access the server.

Are you getting a page not found or are you getting an error with the URLs?

My server starts up just fine with python manage.py runserver 192.168.1.149:8020 (my lan's info).

If you're getting page not found I'd guess it's something related to your network (try ipconfig/all on both computers to make sure). If you're getting a urls error then you can post your URLs file to dpaste or the like.

The 0.0.0.0:8000 argument to runserver is the right way to do this.
(Apparently 0:8000 us a legal shortcut.)

But you may have a firewall on your machine which is not allowing
access to port 8000. You will have to find someone (maybe you) with
specific knowledge of firewall configuration on your particular OS to
help check for that.

Yes 0.0.0.0:8000 is correct. 

You would need to disable firewall for that port. In Ubuntu I used the Uncomplicated Firewall utility. You can try something like http://download.cnet.com/Windows-7-Firewall-Control/3000-10435_4-10618117.html for Windows 7
