Changing default ip address of django server
If something else is already using port 8000 on your computer, if you’re not allowed to run programs that
bind to that port, or if you want to view pages served by Django’s development server from another computer,
you’ll need to manually specify the address and port to use when you launch the development server. You
accomplish this using the syntax python manage.py runserver ip_address:port_number.
For example, to listen on all of your computer’s available IP addresses (so that other computers can
view pages from the development server) and bind to port 9000 instead of 8000, you could type python
manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:9000 (0.0.0.0 is a special address that means “listen on all available
IP addresses”).
