Question

I'm following instructions from

http://www.tangowithdjango.com/book/chapters/setup.html

On how to start a webserver. 

$ python manage.py runserver

Validating models...

0 errors found
September 21, 2013 - 06:12:41
Django version 1.5.4, using settings 'tango_with_django_project.settings'
Development server is running at http://127.0.0.1:8000/
Quit the server with CONTROL-C.

But To stop a webserver it says press CTRL-C

However when I am using Powershell, it says press CTRL-BREAK.

I cannot find the BREAK key anywhere, and I tried other CTRL-letter patterns to try and stop the webserver without closing the powershell terminal.

Any help?

Was it helpful?

Solution 4

Try Ctrl+FN+F11 however if it doesn’t work you may have to use an external USB keyboard for Pause/Break Function.

You may also use the Onscreen Keyboard.

OTHER TIPS

Try Fn-B.
It works as a BREAK on my Inspiron 7559

Try using this CTRL + FN + S.

It works on Inspiron 15 5558.

Ctrl+Fn+B works on my inspiron 13 7000 Series

According to the following image, there seem to be no Pause key in Inspiron 15R.

enter image description here

But, you can use On Screen Keyboard (osk) if you are using Windows: Run osk and click Ctrl button, then click Pause button.

If you don't have BREAK key on your keyboard in this case CTRL+C works just fine

For HP Laptop keyboards use: Ctrl + Fn + Pause

For Hp laptops, "Fn + right shift key" works as break key. So to exit you can press "ctrl + Fn + right shift key". But on pressing this combination it is coming out or the execution as well as power-shell. We need to find something which ends the execution of script but keeps power-shell running.

When I performed Ctrl+Fn+Insert on my Dell Latitude E7450 it immediately sent it to sleep. Still looking for solution that works --- Tried several of the above -- no idea if this is jacking things up or not w/ experimentation -- hopefully someone knows one that will work 100% on Dell Latitude. Bosses choice/not mine. =-)

For Dell Laptop keyboards use: Ctrl + Fn + Insert
