I'm developing some Python project with Django. When we render the Python/Django application, we need to open the command prompt and type in python manage.py runserver. That's ok on for the development server. But for production, it looks funny. Is there anyway to run the Python/Django project without opening the command prompt?
The deployment section of the documentation details steps to configure servers to run django in production.
runserver is to be used strictly for development and should never be used in production.
You run the runserver command only when you develop. After you deploy, the client does not need to run python manage.py runserver command. Calling the url will execute the required view. So it need not be a concern
If you are using Linux I wrote a pretty, pretty basic script, which I am always using when I don't want to call this command.
Note: You really just should use the "runserver" for developing :)
#!/bin/bash
#Of course change "IP-Address" to your current IP-Address and the "Port" to your port.
#ifconfig to get your IP-Address
python manage.py runserver IP-Address:Port
just name it runserver.sh and execute it like this in your terminal:
./runserver.sh

When I type manage.py runserver in the shell, there only opens my text editor, instead of starting the server. I do not understand this issue. The documentation of django says, the server should start.
to start the server u should type python manage.py runserver and
before this make sure that you are in the correct dir and also make sure you are working within your created environment.
Solution was to go in windows default settings and change the program to open .py files to python
I am new to django and trying to run the django server for the first time. I am trying to run the command for starting a django server in a terminal, i.e. python manage.py runserver. But when I go to http://localhost:8000, it is not giving me the default django output containing a rocket like image.
I even tried using http://my_ip:8000 and http://127.0.0.1:8000 but still it doesn't work. I also tried running the command as python manage.py runserver 8000 but it still does not give me anything on localhost:8000.
I have checked and no firewall / antivirus is blocking this port for me. Also, I am able to access other applications on other ports.
I am not getting any errors on my terminal when I run this command. This is a blocker for me and any help would be really appreciated.

I am using the latest python version 3.9 and my django version is 3.2.
Thanks!
I recently realized that I could use Bash for Windows as the terminal for use in Pycharm so that the IDE had a proper terminal in it even through it was in Windows. I want to work on a Django project but I realized something strange. When I run the server through the IDE's run button, everything runs as expected. However, when I try to run the server through the command line via
python3 manage.py runserver,
the terminal output is the same, but my browsers cannot connect. Instead they say that the connection was reset. I have full installations of Django and Python for both Windows and the Bash environment and both seem to be fully functional. I can make migrations and create new apps through the command line just fine, but I was wondering if anybody else knew why the Django Server does not connect when run through Bash on Windows
I want to run the django developement server localy and I don't want to use a full webserver.
So far I renamed manage.py to manage.pyw. Then in manage.pyw I call execute_from_command_line(['manage.py', 'runserver'])
In a batch file I then use "START pythonw manage.pyw"
The problem is, that I then cannot connect to the server even though in the taskmanager it says it's still running. When I start it using python instead, it runs, but the console window is visible.
I found a way to do this. I used the Windows Service Wrapper https://github.com/kohsuke/winsw to install python manage.py runserver as a service.
I just started learning django by using tango with django.
I did everything up till creating django project.
The problem I have is running with "manage.py" file.
When I ever I type
$ python manage.py runserver
it says
python: can't open file'manage.py'
So I tried
$ python c:\Users\<username>\tango_with_django_project\manage.py runserver
then it worked. Is there any way that I can run manage.py without typing long line like second one?
thanks
If you don't want to type each time, when you to run django dev server, just create .bat file (if you use Windows, as I can see) with this (working) string.
After that you need only double-click on this file to run server.
Did you changed current dir to the django project?
c:
cd \Users\<username>\tango_with_django_project\
python manage.py runserver
