This site cant be reached. The site took too long to respond

Posted on June 25, 2020

I created a django project following instruction in the tutorial. After initial migration and run python manage.py runserver <myip>:8000, I couldn’t access my site. The error message says it take too long to respond. How do I resolve this?

Hi there @cpeters5,

I could suggest a couple of things:

Make sure that port 8080 is open for incoming TCP connections via your firewall
Make sure that your application is binding to 0.0.0.0:8080 rather than 127.0.0.1:8080 so that it could be accessed via the outside world.

To check that run the following command:

netstat -plant | grep 8080

Hope that this helps! Regards, Bobby
