socket.gethostbyname(request.META['SERVER_NAME'])

Your machine likely has more than one IP address: one for each network
interface, including the local loopback interface, so usually at least two
when actually connected to a network.  Which one do you want?

More importantly -- what is the real problem you are trying to solve?  I
have a feeling you are not asking the right question to solve it.

New Django user: How do I return the server's IP address?

2008-11-21 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Where can I get the Host server's IP address?

request.META['SERVER_NAME'] simply returns localhost instead of
whatever my ip address is

Thanks.
