Re: Django development running on 127.0.0.1:8000 not accessible from same machine

Found a workaround that works.

I assigned 127.0.0.1 in my /etc/hosts file to www.127.0.0.1 and everything works. From the research I have done I cannot prove conclusively if this is a problem on Ubuntu 12.04 machines or not because I could not find other people who were facing the same issue.

In addition I am not sure if assigning the above causes any security issues but since it is just a name I think it should be fine.

This issue may be related to not assigning a fully qualified domain name to the Linux host.

Thanks for your help Anton and hope this helps others.

Cheers,
nav

Hi Anton,

Thank you for your email.

I have tried all of the methods you had suggested but to no avail.

In all my years of Django development the localhost address has worked
flawlessly. I have also tried with multiple Django projects and other
Linux installations and the problem persists. This makes me think this
is a DNS issue that may be due to a network related problem. In which
case I will have to investigate. I will post once I find a work around
or solution.

Cheers,
nav
