Error on django runserver - OverflowError: getsockaddrarg: port must be 0-65535

Question

I came back to my previously working django project to find the following error after the runserver command:

0 errors found

Who knows what's going on?. Thanks all.

It looks like you're trying to run your application on port 80 thousand (80000) where as we only have up to 65 thousand (65535) ports. Remove one zero and you should be good to go!
