Django server name which is use to run app locally. As php use apache server to run app locally.
Django comes with its own development server, python manage.py runserver, which you would use to develop locally.
For more production-ready deployments, a popular choice is Nginx backed by uWSGI or Gunicorn.
It uses pure python built-in server

How can I make my Django project accessible via internet?
When I execute the project in Windows OS by typing with a disabled firewall it works and reachable via the internet.
But in Linux OS it does not. I tried the same actions. Executed it by typing and made sure my firewall is disabled
python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
The expected result is that project is accessible via the internet like in windows OS
you must deploy your app in one server. I recommend you pay for one VPS like digitalocean. And dont run you app with runserver. Runserver is only for development. Use one wsgi like gunicorn.
If you not want pay for this service. You can use heroku
https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/deploying-python
I recommend use docker. Docker possibilite you development and deploy same envoriment
I want to host my Django 1.10 web application on WHM(VPS). for that i have installed Django and another necessary tools on WHM(VPS) by ssh login. and i also have uploaded my Django application code through cpanel in public_html directory.
When i run python manage.py runserver <ip_address:8000> from ssh terminal, i am able to access that application. but when i close the ssh terminal, it terminates all the running process. so could not access application after that.
So, Is there any way that without running python manage.py script i can access Django application?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thank you.
Django comes with a built-in development server, it's not really meant to be used when deploying to a remote VPS.
There are some great resources to help you along, but what you're likely going to want to do is deploy your app on a stack using gunicorn or uwsgi as an application server and a web server like Nginx or apache 2 as a reverse proxy.
I personally use Nginx and uwsgi.
There are some great resources explaining how to deploy a Django server. Have a look at this one from digital ocean, it was a great help when I needed to set up a production server correctly: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-serve-django-applications-with-uwsgi-and-nginx-on-ubuntu-16-04
best of luck with it!
I created a Django Python application in localhost and setup virtualenv for running python application. I run this application from terminal and can access with this url- http://127.0.0.1:8000/ . On hosting time (server) how can i access this application using url?
I suggest you to check out this page of the django documentation if you haven't already: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/howto/deployment/wsgi/
Deployment of a web application is not as easy as running the python development server, that is extremely simpler and is discouraged to be used on a server by the django documentation itself.
On a theoretic point of view, the reason why you can't access remotely the development server is because it binds the server on local only access: to make it accessible from an external computer you need to bind it to listen on 0.0.0.0 instead of 127.0.0.1, then you will be able to reach it on example.com:8000 depending on what the server's domain is and what port you choose. To use 0.0.0.0 you call manage.py runserver like this:
./manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
but avoid to do it, and opt for a more robust deployment :)
If your trying to deploy your application for the first time, and you want to get a feel of accessing your app from url, try heroku, https://www.heroku.com/
Easy and you don't have to worry about setting up everything.
I am just starting out on Django. I have successfully set it up and have it it talking to mysql and am ready to code . Inside of the eclipse IDE; should each app you are working have its own distinct server ( i.e my site) instance? Does it matter ?
generally each of your django PROJECTS (django-admin startproject) has its own server, project is the directory containing all your apps and contains the manage.py. each app ususally doesn't because a project is composed of apps.
For developing django includes a development server you can run using runserver
python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8080
A little confused, does python manage.py runserver use the paster web server or is this a django specific server?
It's a custom WSGI server built on BaseHTTPServer and adapted from wsgiref.
