Problems with "runserver"

Hi,

I've followed succesfully the first lesson, but I just cannot make the django server work with the virtual machine.

When I try "python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000" I don't get any error but I still can't see the "it worked!" when opening in my browser 127.0.0.1:8888.

Besides fixing this, I would like to understand why this is happening. I tried uninstalling a previous version of django I had but still...

Thanks in advance!

Two things that come to mind:

  1. When you start the VM with vagrant up, make sure you see a line (I know, there's a lot of output) about forwarding port 8000 to port 8888
  2. Before you do python manage.py runserver, do which python and make sure the response is the path to your virtualenv.

FWIW: not a complete answer and I know this is not the recommended path, I set up ubuntu 12.04 VM directly on VBox and then created a second 'bridged' NIC since the app creates its own virtual network starting with 10.x.x.x. Setting the NIC to a static IP, in my case on the 192.x.x.x real network, I can access the django dev server using this address. HTH, V.

Ok well it worked for me with this:

"chmod +x manage.py" "./manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000"

Still don't understand why it didn't worked with "python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000".
