Non local connections for django project server

Question

I ran the command python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

It started the server up, but when I navigate to http://myipaddress:8000, my webbroswer doesnt connect. I also tried with my iphone safari brower and got the same thing.

I am using Mac OS X 10.6 and am connect to the the internet through my router.

Any suggestions on how to allow non-local connections so my friends can try out my project?

Answer 1

1) check your firewall 2) make sure your router forwards connections on port 8000 to your computer
