python - How to specify which eth interface Django test server should listen on?

Question

As the title says, in a multiple ethernet interfaces with multiple IP environment, the default Django test server is not attached to the network that I can access from my PC. Is there any way to specify the interface which Django test server should use?

The network configuration is here. I'm connecting to the machine via 143.248.x.y address from my PC. (My PC is also in 143.248.a.b network.) But I cannot find this address. Normal apache works very well as well as other custom daemons running on other ports.

The one who configured this machine is not me, so I don't know much details of the network...

Finally I used w3m (a text-mode web browser which runs on terminal) to connect from localhost. :P

Answer 1

I think the OP is referring to having multiple interfaces configured on the test machine.

You can specify the IP address that Django will bind to as follows:

# python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

This would bind Django to all interfaces on port 8000. You can pass any active IP address in place of 0.0.0.0, so simply use the IP address of the interface you want to bind to.

Hope this helps.
