Django 0.0.0.0:80; can't access remotely

Question

Hello, I'm trying to access my Django server from another computer on the same network. I've set up my server and can view everything correctly usingpython manage.py runserver and going to http://127.0.0.1:8000 but when I try to use python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:80, I can't view my Django page from another computer. The computer hosting the Django server has intranet IP 192.168.1.146. On my secondary computer, I fire up a browser and try to access http://192.168.1.146:80 to no avail. I've also forwarded port 80 (and I've tried 8000 as well) also to no avail :(. HELP!

Answer 1

Sounds like it is a firewall issue then. Did you make sure to open port 80 on your server computer?

Answer 2

From your mention of forwarding port 80, it sounds like your second computer is on a different network (router) from the one running Django. In that case, you should browse to the IP of the Django network's router - the 192.168 address is only visible from behind that router, and port forwarding will ensure that your request goes to the right machine.

Answer 3

what OS are you running this on? have you tried to give the command root privileges? (assuming you're running it on ubuntu/linux)

try running this instead:

sudo python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:80

Answer 4

As far as I understand, 0.0.0.0 is a non-routable IP.

It will only work on the local machine, if you bind a socket to the address.
