runserver 后 Django 卡住了

Question

I am new to Django, and am trying to get the server set up.

I have created my project folder (containing manage.py) and after running

python manage.py runserver

it gets stuck after these messages

System check identified no issues (0 silenced).

You have 15 unapplied migration(s). Your project may not work properly until you apply the migrations for app(s): admin, auth, contenttypes, sessions.
Run 'python manage.py migrate' to apply them.

Django version 2.1.3, using settings 'MyProject.settings'
Starting development server at http://127.0.0.1:8000/
Quit the server with CTRL-BREAK.

There is a minute or so pause and then these show up.

[11/Nov/2018 18:18:46] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 16348
[11/Nov/2018 18:18:47] "GET /static/admin/fonts/Roboto-Regular-webfont.woff HTTP/1.1" 200 80304
[11/Nov/2018 18:18:47] "GET /static/admin/fonts/Roboto-Light-webfont.woff HTTP/1.1" 200 81348
[11/Nov/2018 18:18:47] "GET /static/admin/fonts/Roboto-Bold-webfont.woff HTTP/1.1" 200 82564

After that it just stays there, I cannot type anything or do anything.

Answer 1

To clarify the behaviour of the runserver command, you should use the doc

Starts a lightweight development Web server on the local machine.

Since a server continously listen for connections, it's fine that you don't get the prompt back. If needed, you could use python manage.py runserver & to run the server in the background of your shell, or just open another window/tab.

Remember that, to test your website, you have to keep the server open.

Answer 2

First of all don't forget the Django documentation is your friend (even if it's a bit unfriendly).

You are doing everything correctly and the terminal is out putting any requests made to the application:

[11/Nov/2018 18:18:46] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 16348
[11/Nov/2018 18:18:47] "GET /static/admin/fonts/Roboto-Regular-webfont.woff HTTP/1.1" 200 80304
[11/Nov/2018 18:18:47] "GET /static/admin/fonts/Roboto-Light-webfont.woff HTTP/1.1" 200 81348
[11/Nov/2018 18:18:47] "GET /static/admin/fonts/Roboto-Bold-webfont.woff HTTP/1.1" 200 82564

That means you connected to http://127.0.0.1:8000/ at the root domain, with which 3 fonts also got sent to the requesting browser/connection.

What to do now

I would highly suggest you follow a simple tutorial like this one , step by step, then follow other tutorials and find what works best for you.

An alternative idea

I have tried long and hard to enjoy using Django and for over 6 months I was unhappy working and struggling to get it to work flawlessly. So I found Flask to be a much better alternative and much easier to learn and continue to work with. I recently came across Quart , which is an asynchronous fork of Flask, and have not looked back since. We can literally build a fully functioning web application shell in a matter of minutes with the help of various Flask extensions.

You need to migrate your database.

$ python manage.py makamigrations your_app_name  
$ python manage.py migrate  

That is all you need to do, and then restart the server.
