I'm running django development server remotely using
python manage.py 0.0.0.0:8000
The project is available through Dropbox. I make the changes locally in my system and they are available to my testers when I checkin code to Dropbox folder.
The problem I'm facing is that the development server does not reload the code automatically. It somehow keeps running the same old code.
The development server on the same machine run on 127.0.0.1:8001 behaves as expected.
Is there a way to force reloading of files when django development server is run remotely?
Thanks for the help.

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

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 recently deployed a Django site on a DigitalOcean droplet through Apache. I did python manage.py runserver through ssh and now the Django site is running. However, it stayed on even after the ssh session expired (understandable because it's still running on the remote server) but how do I shut it down if I need to?
Also, due to this, I don't get error messages on the terminal if something goes wrong like I do when I develop locally. What would be a fix for this?
Your question is confusing. If you deployed it with Apache, it's running through Apache and not through runserver. You might have additionally started runserver, but that is not what is serving your site.
I am trying to deploy a django app on hostgator shared hosting. I followed the hostgator django installation wiki and i deployed my app. The issue is that i am getting a 500 error internal page when entering the site url in the browser. I contacted the support team but could not provide enough info on troubleshooting the error Premature end of script headers: fcgi.This was the error found on the server error log.
I am installed django 1.9.5 on the server and from the django documentation it does not support fastcgi.
So my question 500 error be caused by the reason that i am running django 1.9.5 on the server and it does not support fastcgi. if so do i need to install lower version of django to support the fastcgi supported by hostgator shared hosting
First i thought the error was caused by my .htaccess file but it has no issue from the what i heard from support team.
Any Leads to how i can get the app up and running will be appreciated. This is my first time with django app deployment. Thank you in advance
I know this is a while as to when i asked the question. I finally fixed this by changing the hosts. I went for Digital Oceans (created a new droplet) which supports wsgi. I deployed the app using gunicorn (application server) and nginx (proxy server).
It is not a good idea to deploy a Django app on shared hosting as you will be limited especially installing the required packages.
Many hostings today that support python use Phusion Passenger and I have been able to deploy Django on it successfully. Before I share the procedure, let me mention that I faced a lot of problems in doing this and now I have the solution to all of them. I have already written a step by step guide on my blog here to deploy a Django app on shared hosting.
Start a new python app in cpanel. Specify the url where you want the app to be and the folder where you want to put the contents of the app. Set the Application startup file to passenger_wsgi.py and the Application entry point to application.
Copy the command to enter the virtual environment and run it via online terminal in CPanel or SSH.
Install version 2.1 of Django (latest 2.2 will not work) pip install django==2.1
Upload your django project to the folder you specified while setting up the app. There will be a passenger_wsgi.py file in that folder. Edit it and enter the following code: (replace myapp with your application name)
from myapp.wsgi import application
Edit the settings.py file and add the url of your appp to the ALLOWED_HOSTS list.
Set up the MySql database
Configure the path for static files in the settings.py and run python manage.py collectstatic
Again go to Setup python app in cpanel and restart the app.
As you say, Django 1.9 does not support FastCGI.
You could try using Django 1.8, which is a long term support release and does still support FastCGI.
Or you could switch to a different host that supports deploying Django 1.9 with wsgi.
I'm trying to deploy a python-based scientific application on IBM's bluemix platform. However, while I can launch the cgi services to host the web pages, the python application behind it doesn't currently run. The application currently runs on an apache server on rackspace, but I'm try trying launch a newer version for testing. I tried Heroku, with the same problem that the web pages will be served, but not the python application. But the heroku gist seems to be that Heroku can't serve cgi applications. And there was a suggestion that the Cloud Foundry platform would be able to do so. The application runs fine locally, so I'm trying to find the right tweak to deploy to Bluemix (or Heroku).
We have the requirements file, and the initial thought is that it's the procfile that needs tweaking. Currently it looks like:
web: python -m CGIHTTPServer $PORT
I've tried launching the application via the worker tag.
worker: python weblogo.py
worker: python setup.py
even trying to launch the internal files:
worker: python /weblogolib/_cgi.py
worker: python /weblogolib/__init__.py
Yet none of these methods worked on getting the application behind the web pages to work. Is there another method that we're unaware of?
The application is designed to be served locally with the command.
python ./weblogo --serve
Does this matter when deploying to a cloud platform?
Rewriting the application to Flask or Django isn't really an option now. Any guidance toward the getting the application launched would be much appreciated! Thank you in advance!
