Django Runserver Does Not Respond When Opened In The Browser

I have been using django for quite some time now and I had no problems in using it, until now. When I run in the terminal py manage.py runserver 127.0.0.1:8000 it shows Performi

Solution 1:

Give it a try with binding to all of the network interfaces:

python manage.py runserver [::]:8000

You should be able to see what port it is listening on. Go to START, and type cmd. Right click cmd and Run As Administrator. Then type:

netstat

Do you see anything in that list like?

TCP    0.0.0.0:8000          YourPC-PC:0          LISTENING

That would be the listing of the Django runserver in your network ports list.

Solution 2:

Try restarting your computer.

Same thing happened to me on my Windows 10 machine while debugging multiple APIs running locally on flask dev server and accessing them with my Django webapp. Closing and restarting the Django server didn't help as it showed no errors on the console while the webapp page still won't load. Doing a restart eliminates this problem that may have been caused by multiple servers running and restarting while in the process of debugging.

Note: Make sure to do a restart and not a regular shutdown since fast boot is enabled by default as of Windows 8. Else, it will just load the previous state of your system and the problem will persist.

Solution 3:

try following the following steps:

first find the process running on port 8000 by command:

netstat -tulpn | grep8000

take the pid and kill it using command

kill pid

run python server using command

 python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

Solution 4:

Try this with 0.0.0.0 if you are running in remote server.

python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

If not, check whether port is listening.

sudo nmap -sT -O localhost #to install=> sudo apt-get install nmap

For windows

>netstat -a -b

Solution 5:

If it helps with anyone. I came across with this problem also running on Windows, restarting Django didn't seem to help. However, when I looked at Task Manager, there seem to be other old python process running. After I killed those process, and restarted Django, it starts working.
