This tutorial looks at how to make a django app publically avaliable on the web.
If you are just testing, you can use a ssh proxy to forward your requests for localhost:5000 (for example) to the server, so you can access stuff inside the server’s localhost. This is good for private testing. To do so, just run the following on any *NIX system, remembering to change the port number and server address for your app:
ssh -L 8000:localhost:8000 root@23.23.23.23
It didn’t work. It says: channel 4: open failed: connect failed: Connection refused
@digitalspares, Try googling it. Here are some solutions on sever fault.
If that doesn’t work, you probably have a firewall. In that case, try and make it publicly available on the web… unless your firewall blocks normal websites :)
