If you wish to run you django server in other than port 8000 here is a solution for you.

SOLUTION-1:

  • Create a bash script like the following
#!/bin/bash
exec ./manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:<your_port>

Note: change <your_port> with the port number you want.

  • Save it as runserver in the same dir where manage.py is present.
  • and run it as ./runserver.

ALTERNATIVE SOLUTION:

Actually the easiest way to change (only) port in development Django server is just like:

python manage.py runserver <your_port> 

Note: change <your_port> with the port number you want
