Access django on raspberry pi from LAN

Question

I installed Django and can access the test page while on my Raspberry Pi by going to 127.0.0.1:8000 .

However, when I am on my LAN and try 192.168.1.23:8000 I get nothing.

I suspect because I'm running apache2 , I need to listen or forward the port? If I try 192.168.1.23 I successfully get the /var/www test page showing "it works".

Answer 1

If run by manage.py, by default, only listens locally. So you have to start django using

manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

to let it listen on other addresses too.

If run by apache via WSGI or FCGI please supply a copy of the config file.
