The default port that is used by runserver (8000) is already in use by
some other application (or you may have started the Django development
already in another terminal).

The parameter your provided (8001) is used to specify an alternate port
on which the development server should listen. You can learn some more
from:

The 'python manage.py runserver' by default runs the server on port 8000. But, your 8000 port must be getting used by some other application. Thus, 8001 works, which was free. The four digits are ports and the localhost is your IP address which is equal to 127.0.0.1. You may try this link to get the same result http://127.0.0.1:8001

Thanks,

A from-the-hip guess is that you're running on a machine (such as
Linux/BSD/Mac) where ports <1024 are considered privileged, and can
only be opened by "root" rather than by your user.

This tells "runserver" to listen on port "8001" (instead of the
default 80 which is privileged, being <1024). So you then need to
point your browser to localhost, and use the specified port.

PS: I might have a fence-posting error here, as I don't remember
whether 1024 is priv'ed or not, meaning that my comments might need
to be "<=1024" rather than "<1024".
