Question

I am experimenting with django and I throw the code on my server like explained in the first chapters of the django book 2.0.

I have apache running on this server, too (port 80). If I stop apache I can start my django site by calling

sudo python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:80

If I access it from another machine by

http://myservername:80

it works fine. Now, apache is running an important page, and I don’t want to let apache stoped. How do I make mysite available on another port?

Edit: I’ll try to explain more:

When apache runs, typing into the adressfield of my browser, shows me the “important wepage”.

Starting my django test project with

sudo python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:anotherport

and accessing trying to acces it by

http://ipadressofserver:anotherport

does not work.

If apache is tuned off, and I start my django project by

sudo python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:80

I can access it by

http://myservername
http://myservername:80 (the browser changes this to http://myservername/
http://myserverIP and http://myservrIP:80 (The latter resolves in the former).

I am not experienced in Serveradministration so please ask me, if there is something specific I can tell you, to help me solve the problem, please ask me, and I’ll provide the information – if possible.

Answer 1

Specify a different port when starting the dev server:

$ python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

and connect to the site via:

 http://myserverip:8000
