I am not running the development server on my local box, but sshing to another machine.
I tried change where the development server is being run by locating the ip address
(use the ifconfig command and look for the address associated with eth0), and running the dev server like this:
python manage.py runserver <ipaddress>:8000
but when I type the URL http://<ipaddress>:8000 in a browser I get cannot connect to the website.
Any ideas?
Instead of typing in your ipaddress, use 0.0.0.0, so that any other ip address can connect to your server. And then yes, as others have mentioned, you must open port 8000 for incoming connections.
