I’ve been tasked by my programming teacher to learn Django. However, I need to code on a command line linux box and therefore cannot access the web page from said linux box.
To test, I need to host it on the local IP of the computer rather than localhost. I’m currently running the Django development server using this command:
python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
Firefox and Chrome can access the development server at the Linux box’s IP address, but Internet Explorer can’t.
Unfortunately (I am said teacher), I can’t provide a linux host – only a linux server and a windows host to do development on.
He’s actually running the web server correctly, with the command provided by Paul. But for some reason, it’s only visible in Firefox/Chrome, IE just provides a generic “Webpage cannot be displayed”
But this problem can be solved by using the entire address: http:// isn’t optional like it is in Chrome and Firefox.
