Django project on 80 port?

Question

Ι have developed a Django project and uploaded it to a cloud VΜ. Currently i have access to it through 8080 port.

python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8080

If i enter the url without the 8080 port, it shows the "it works" page. How can i set my Django project to run by default on 80 port?

I am using Ubuntu 12.04 server

As docs say, runserver isn't meant as a deployment server. It also mentions that you probably can't start it on port 80 unless you run it as root.
