I work on a project in which I need a python web server. This project is hosted on Amazon EC2 (ubuntu).
I have made two unsuccessful attempts so far:
run python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8080. It works if I launch a browser on the EC2 instance and head to localhost:8080 or <ec2-public-IP>:8080. However I can't access the server from a browser on a remote machine (using <ec2-public-IP>:8080).
create a python class which allows me to specify both the IP address and port to serve files. Same problem as 1.
There are several questions on SO concerning Python web server on EC2, but none seems to answer my question: what should I do in order to access the python web server remotely ?
One more point: I don't want to use a Python web framework (Django or anything else): I'll use the web server to build a kind of REST API, not for serving HTML content.
you should open the 8080 port and ip limitation in security croups, such as:
All TCP TCP 0 - 65535 0.0.0.0/0
the last item means this server will accept every request from any ip and port, you also
You passble need to IAM in AWS.
Aws set security permission that need to open up port so you only localhost links your webservice

Trying to connect to my django website (from the browser) that's stored on the GCP virtual machine.
Everything works fine if I'm accessing it internally using internal IP or localhost.
However, I can't access website with external IP.
No logs in django that would say someone trying to access if I'm trying with external IP.
I have http, https traffic enabled on instance.
Firewall rule to allow port 80:
Here is Test-Net results.
Searched the web for answers but nothing looks wrong in my settings..
Any ideas would be appreciated.
UPDATE:
Do not create or change egress rules unless you know exactly what they do. They are not necessary for ingress rules (VPC Firewalls automatically allow return traffic):
I've changed all firewall rules back how they were so now only port 80 is allowed.
You have an ingress rule for the target http-server. Is that target flag set on the VM instance?
What is the output from sudo lsof -i -P -n | grep LISTEN? Your Django server must be listening on 0.0.0.0.0 instead of localhost.
I have 0.0.0.0 with port 80 at django terminal.
I use windows 2016 server so don't know the powershell function that would display what you asked for.
Here is netstat listening ports for django.
I have a python application hosted by a node.js frontend. I am running that on a linux vm on Google Cloud virtual machine (GCP).
node appname runserver 8080 command starts local server within VM but I am wondering what would be step by step process to access it via a DNS from outside world.
Or if there is better approach to host python ML applications behind a web interface, then please suggest.
You need to use forever for this.
Forever will move the node process to the background and service will keep running in the background even if you log out of the server. And In order to access from outside point a DNS domain to this IP address of the machine and then Proxy Pass the request on port 80 to the port your service is running on.
Then you will be able to access it via domain name.
Look for ProxyPass directive in the Http server. That would work for you. :D
I deployed my flask rest api on IIS 8 to windows server 2012 r2. I followed this article. (https://medium.com/#bilalbayasut/deploying-python-web-app-flask-in-windows-server-iis-using-fastcgi-6c1873ae0ad8) I can browse the rest api on the local server but I can not browse the api from other computers on public internet. I can ping the public IP of the server without problem. There is no firewall rule that blocks the server. Would you please help me?
PS. I am trying to browse by the IP, 185.201.212.219. Is it related to this?
edit1: I will try this which is from flask documentation.
Externally Visible Server
If you run the server you will notice that the server is only accessible from your own computer, not from any other in the network. This is the default because in debugging mode a user of the application can execute arbitrary Python code on your computer.
If you have the debugger disabled or trust the users on your network, you can make the server publicly available simply by adding --host=0.0.0.0 to the command line:
flask run --host=0.0.0.0
This tells your operating system to listen on all public IPs.
edit2: Adding host parameter didn't work.
Is there any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
All ports except 80 was open. When I set port=80, all my troubles seem so far away :)
I've been working on a website for the past month, and now its time for me to host the django website onto a private server. Is there a detailed method on how I'm supposed to host the website onto a specific IP address assigned to my system?
This is my first time dealing with hosting a server and i dont know much about it.
Also, once i host it, How do i change the link from being the IP address to an actual link like "12345678.com" or something like that?
(The website should be hosted in such a way that only the people who are in the same network/lan connection should have access to the website.)
I have wamp on the system and the system has a Windows Server OS (if this info helps)
you can run your codes with manage command like this
python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
but its strongly recommended to run your code with a web server like nginx or apache read this tutorial to run your site on a linux server
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-uwsgi-and-nginx-to-serve-python-apps-on-ubuntu-14-04
on windows you can use IIS but its not recommended. its performance is not good
to use 1234567890.com instead of using server ip address you must setup a DNS server on your local network. in linux you can use bind and windows server have its own DNS server. but in your DHCP configuration you must set this DNS server as clients DNS.
I have a Django development server running on a remote centos VM on another lan. I have set up port forwarding using Secure CRT to access the web page through my browser from my desk pc. I am currently not using apache with the development server and is shutdown.
I start the server by running python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:80.
When I type either the ip or www.localhost.com into the web browser, my URL is read as if it has been doubled with the host being read as if it was also the path.
Page not found (404)##
Request Method: GET
Request URL: http://www.localhost.com/http://www.localhost.com/
When I try to access the development server from within the same LAN the page loads up fine.
I have been searching through the django documentation and stack overflow, but I have yet to find a similar problem to this. Does anyone have any thoughts on why this may be happening and what could be a possible solution?
Thank you very much in advance!
It looks like the request URL is incorrect:
http://www.localhost.com/http://www.localhost.com/ should probably be http://actual_machine_IP.com/
I'd start searching there. You won't be able to access the VM's port 80 from a different lan using localhost as the hostname since localhost is probably already set in your hosts file.
If you want to test your dev environ remotely, can I suggest either setting up Apache properly with port 80 (as opposed to using django's dev server--privilege restrictions and all that can be circumvented with sudo and other bad practice) or use a pre-built shared dev service like vagrant share.
