I have a django app on my local computer. I can access the application from a browser by using the url: http://localhost:8000/myapp/
But I cannot access the application by using the ip of the host computer: http://193.140.209.49:8000/myapp/ I get a 404 error.
What should I do? Any suggestions?
I assume you're using the development server. If so, then you need to specifically bind to your external IP for the server to be available there. Try this command:
./manage.py runserver 193.140.209.49:8000
0:8000 also works, as a shorter spelling of 0.0.0.0:8000.
I had a similar issue. In my case, I had to do as below:
python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
http://localhost:8000
http://127.0.0.1:8000
http://192.168.0.99:8000
Port 8080 would not work for me and so I had to add Port 8081.
Add port 8081 in Windows Defender (Inbound Rules)
Add port 8081 in the Internet Router's Virtual Servers
python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8081
http://103.122.xxx.xx:8081
settings.py
ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['127.0.0.1', 'localhost', '103.122.xxx.xx', '192.168.0.99']
I am sure that there could be a better method. As of now this works for me in Visual Studio Code.
