Django 0.0.0.0:80; can't access remotely

Question

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

I had the same question on a Windows computer, and started the Django server with python manage.py runserver 192.168.1.146:80, instead of the 0.0.0.0. (I used a different IP address of course).

After that, a Windows Firewall dialog popped up and asked if I should unblock the port (yes). Other computers in the LAN could then access the Django server using 192.168.1.146:80.

Answer 2

In order for it to work for me, I ran sudo python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:80 in terminal (Mac OS X 10.8.2), and then in your ipad (or iphone) browser, go to http://[your ip address]/. I didn't have to do this: Testing Django website on iphone
