How to access Django based website from different local machines?

In the cmd , after receiving my Ipv4 address using ipconfig , I have added it to the ALLOWED_HOSTS in the settings.py file .
Then to run the website , in cmd I ran the following command :
python manage.py runserver 192.168.x.x:8000 where 192.168.x.x is my ipaddress .
I am able to to access my website from my own local machine , however on other local machines : 192.168.x.x:8000/ isn't responding.

I fear, there is rather a fundamental misunderstanding of a local webserver. The webserver created when you run python manage.py runserver is just a programme running on your computer. You can make requests against that server in your browser using the address manage.py gives you, but that does not mean that the web server was on the internet.
What you expect is like having a Python script hello_world.py on your machine and expecting that someone else could just run python hello_world.py on their machine and it would invoke the script on your machine.
If you want to publish your website, you need to host it on a website.

Aemie,
Try hosting the django server on 0.0.0.0:8000 and attempt to access it from the different machine via the address 192.168.x.x:8000 (the ip address of the host machine IP).
0.0.0.0 would allow all IPv4 addresses on the local machine to be accessible

Django server is not working on Virtual Server

I have a server that is using Ubuntu. I have uploaded my Django project to the server. And ran the command:
python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:80
But when I try to go the website in browser I get The requested URL could not be retrieved error.
What can be the reason of that?

python manage.py runserver {YOUR_PUBLIC_IP}:80
Also you need to check firewall settings, make sure that 80 port is opened

Connect to python development django server from a non-local network machine

I am able to run my django dev server on my machine and make it accessible to the local network by running:
sudo python manage.py runserver IP:80
OR
sudo python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
Now, how can I make my server accessible over the internet by a machine not in my local wifi network?

Use your machine LAN/WAN ip address, then configure your modem/router to let this ip have external access.
For example, considering your machine LAN/WAN ip address is 192.168.0.100.
You run your django development server as python manage.py runserver 192.168.0.100:8000.
An then, set up your modem/router.. Probably inside your DMZ settings.

You can use a tool like ngrok.
Here you can find a detailed usage description: http://www.lexev.org/en/2014/remote-url-localhost-server/

Accessing the Django embedded server for development inside PyCharm by other hosts inside my local network?

I'm working with PyCharm and I wonder if there's a way to make the Django embedded server accesible for the other hosts in my local network or I need to deploy my app on a dedicated web server such as Apache?
Now, I'm accessing my Django app like this in the browser:
http://localhost:8000/mypage/
and I want other users inside my local network to type:
http://my_private_ip:8000/mypage/
in their browsers and see the same page.

Just run the server (which is Django's embedded server FWIW, not PyCharm's) under http://my_private_ip:8000:
# ./manage.py help runserver
Usage: manage.py runserver [options] [optional port number, or ipaddr:port]
Starts a lightweight Web server for development.
(...)
# ./manage.py runserver my_private_ip:8000

Assuming a Unix environment.
You need to ensure the server is listening not on the lo interface but on all interfaces (or at least the one used to connect to the LAN).
If you can customize the way PyCharm launches the server, use 0.0.0.0 as the host, as in:
python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
Your coworkers can then use your LAN IP address. If you don't know it, use $ ip a.

Can't get Django to server its dev server on my LAN

I really try not to ask questions on here, but I've been googling for a bit now and can't find the answer or another method to try. I have a CentOS box at my house hooked to a router. I've assigned it a static IP of 192.168.1.140. Because I'm lazy, I just ssh into it. When I'm goofing around with Django (learning Django/Python at the moment) and I run python manage.py runserver with a variety of IP address, I can't get my browser to access that box. I've tried
python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
python manage.py runserver 8000
python manage.py runserver localhost:8000
python manage.py runserver 192.168.1.140:8000
python manage.py runserver 192.168.1.255:8000
python manage.py runserver 192.168.1.0:8000
python manage.py runserver 192.168.1.1:8000 #this errors out and says I can't use this IP address although this is the IP I use to access the router
When I run netstat -tln in another terminal I can indeed verify that it's listening on port 8000 to the specified address. In iptables I've run it just how it is and I've run it through tcp --dport 8000 and --sport 8000 with the same results. Just can't quite seem to crack the code. I've also setup port forwarding on my router so port 8000 is directed at 140. Is there a log somewhere I can check that I can't find on google? What am I missing?
Whilst googling I came close to an answer but I think it must be something else.
I'm running Python 2.7.5 and Django 1.5.2 through virtualenv if you need to know. Is virtualenv my issue? Thanks y'all

According to this documentation,
the right approach would be to set the python manage.py runserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:yyyy to the IP address of the port you're using [Wi-Fi or Ethernet].
If the other devices are connected to the same LAN, then they should be able to access your Python VirtualEnv straight from their browsers.
Worked just fine on mine.
Also, I use DHCP - don't know if it changes anything. Just thought I'd mention that.
