Err... If I get you right, you're not running the dev server process on your own machine ? If so, it looks like your familiarity with web servers is lacking one important point: 127.0.0.1 is the loopback IP address - IOW, it's an IP address that connect one machine *to itself* !-). Try starting the dev server with the real IP address for your server, and you should be fine, ie if your server machine IP is AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD, start the dev server with python manage.py AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD:8000 > I'm assuming that when I try to connect to port 8000 this will go > directly to the development server and apache settings etc should be > irrelevant? To make a long story short: yes. (To make it a bit longer : apache could be configured to listen to port 8000, but then you couldn't run any other process listening on this same port...) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
