When I run python manage.py runserver, I get this shown on localhost:8000

{"status": "fail",  "method": "", "error":""}

We'd need to see your settings file and maybe your top-level urls.py to answer it conclusively, but in general terms, some view that's been mapped to root on your project is returning that there JSON response. This is not a default Django behavior, or at least wasn't in 1.10 or earlier.

Do you have debugging turned on (DEBUG=True in settings.py) in Django? If you do, you should see a pretty detailed stack trace and not just this. Also, in the console you should see a stack trace with the details of the error. Do you see those?

DEBUG is set to true, and I don't see any error messages. There is no trace in the console either.

Is there anything at mysite/urls.py?

Also, how sure are you that you're actually hitting the Django server? If you turn off the Django server, do you get the same page? If you navigate to http://localhost:8000/ with runserver running, do you see the GET request in the console?

Update: I tried using port 8080 and now everything works!

I think that something was using port 8000, but I'm not sure what.

You were right, I tried localhost:8000 without the Django server on and and it had the same message. I did not hit the Django server.
