Asked by douglasrcjames
Hello! So I have gone too long without having the debugger enabled when I am developing on my Ubuntu web server running Python with Flask. I got the debugger to run at ’ 127.0.0.1:5000 ’ after running the command ’ flask run ', but I am unsure how to access the debugger this way? Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
