Starting a poll

[Caleb Bryson]

So I am follow the instructions on the django site to make a poll. I am at the current step where you run the server and everything went fine when i typed in the command. But now it is just there at saying "GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1" 404 1977 on the last command line. I was wondering should i wait, or close the cmd prompt and open a new one to continue the steps, or quit the server with CTRL-BREAK(not sure which button represents break on the key board)?

Caleb,

If I recall correctly, Ctrl-C stops the server.  Django dpes know when some changes are made, but unless I know for sure I always stop and restart the server.

If you open the app once the server is started by going to 127.0.0.1:8000 is it loading the website or are you getting a 404 error in the browser?

I see the favicon 404 error all the time, but it doesn’t halt my site.  It’s just django looking for a favicon. That shouldn’t break anything. 

Another 404 you might see is django looking for a robots.txt file. This is normal until you have these setup.

Actually, such 404 message is not Django's fault. Your browser is trying to get the favicon.ico on its own for the browser's tab decorations. Such file is not provided neither needed by Django.

If you try to open the server url using something like curl or httpie, you won't see the "error".
