Why can I connect to http://127.0.0.1:8000/ but not to http://192.168.1.6/
When you start Django development server you need to give the address explicitly:
python manage.py runserver 192.168.1.6:8000Or if you want the server to run on all interfaces you can use:
python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000In other case Django development server defaults to running on the local interface only.
The problem for me was I accidentally quit the server whenever trying to copy the server address. So instead of using ctrl+C just write down the address into your browser.
I solved the issue.There are a few things you might be missing.Listing them below-
1.Once it starts the server, do not press Ctrl+C anyhow .u might be pressing it to copy to url and that accidently closes the server due to which it might be happening.
2.instead of http://127.0.0.1:8000/ ...change the port number to http://127.0.0.1:8080/ ...That would work.
3.Try changing the firewall setting and allow the app.
4.Try opening it with different browsers and incognito too.
The above steps helped solve my issue.Hope they help u too...:)
