Vagrant is not forwarding when I run django runser

Question

I created a Vagrant Ubuntu (lucid32) box with Python & Django. My idea is start the VM, log into it with vagrant ssh, and then start Django by running:

manage.py runserver

which defaults to port 8000. The problem is that I can not access the Django server from the host's browser at http://127.0.0.1:8000. What can I do?

Answer 1

You need to bind the server to the external IP with:

manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

Answer 2

First, you need to do port forwarding in Vagrant file.

config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 8000, host: 8000

Then you need to restart/reload your vangrant vm

vagrant reload

Now ssh to your vm and run django server as follows

python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
