Please I have followed How To Set Up Django with Postgres on how to deploy Django remotely. I’ve been able to follow the guide accordingly(well not fully accordingly because I use git to pull my code) and running the server like so python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000 for testing it ran successfully after but on testing http://157.230.53.115:8000/ there seems to be an error as I keep receiving connection time out. Please help me look into this as I’ve really researched on this since but nothing so far. Thanks in anticipation.

Hello,
There are a few things that I could suggest here:
- Make sure that port 8000 is open for incoming TCP traffic via your firewall. You could check that with:
ufw status
- If port 8000 is not open then you would have to open it with:
ufw allow 8000
After that try accessing the site again.
- If this is still not working, make sure that your app is actually listening on port 8000:
netstat -plant | grep 8000
```
* Another thing that I could suggest is checking your logs for any errors
Hope that this helps!
Regards,
Bobby
