How to access the local Django webserver from outside world

You have to run the development server such that it listens on the interface to your network.

E.g.

python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

listens on every interface on port 8000.

It doesn't matter whether you access the webserver with the IP or the hostname. I guess you are still in your own LAN.
If you really want to access the server from outside, you also have to configure your router to forward port e.g. 8000 to your server.

Check your firewall on your server whether incoming connections to the port in use are allowed!

Assuming you can access your Apache server from the outside successfully, you can also try this:

• Stop the Apache server, so that port 80 is free.
• Start the development server with sudo python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:80

I had to add this line to settings.py in order to make it work (otherwise it showed an error when accessed from another computer)

ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['*']

then ran the server with:

python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:9595

Also ensure that the firewall allows connections to that port
