Local Django website won't load in browser

Question

I\'m guessing there\'s a very simple solution to this, but I searched every forum and setup guide and can\'t figure it out:

I built a Django/CentOS-6.3 environment

Answer 1

the host's "127.0.0.1" is not the same as the guest's "127.0.0.1". Per default the command

python manage.py runserver

listens only to the guest's localhost. You should be able to test it from within the vm (use "vagrant ssh" to login) and run

curl -I http://127.0.0.1:8000/

The host as a different IP. To access the development server from the host you have to start it without ip restriction:

python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

Yes:

python manage.py runserver [::]:8000

should be the same. But that's IPv6 syntax AFAIK. Are you sure that the "manage.py runserver" command supports IPv6 by default? I've never used ipv6 addresses w/ django, but looking at the source (https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/core/management/commands/runserver.py) there seams to be a flag that the default to False ("--ipv6"). Perhaps that's the "real" problem?
