What to do after python manage.py runserver

[Matthew Epps]

Hey all,

I apologize for the extremely basic question. I am new to django and python. But after I enter the "python manage.py runserver" command, my terminal prints out the message that the tutorial says I should expect. However, I have a difficult time entering the other commands on the tutorial. Should I quit the server? Or do I have to type something in to access a point where I could enter more commands?

Thank you,

Matt

Hi Matthew,

You'll want to leave the window you typed runserver in open so your app can print information about it's activities to that window. Open another terminal window and proceed from there.

Happy Hacking!

Thomas

Or you can share the one terminal by stopping the server to run other commands, then do runserver again to test them.

The startup message should have told you how to stop (exit, kill) the server.  On linux it's control-C.  That may work elsewhere too.  (Just for completeness, in an emacx shell window, it's two control-Cs in a row.)
