Commands To Run Django Server App?

[jerrychong25]

Hi @tejmagar,

Thanks for creating nice articles on https://sagasab.com/blog/simple-django-websocket-tutorial-for-beginners/ as well as uploading full project codes into GitHub.

Do you mind to share full commands on running the Django server app after following your guides?

Tried running with following commands:

python3 manage.py migrate
python3 manage.py runserver

Unfortunately my end get empty screen in the browser, as per screenshot below:

Here is full logs:

Watching for file changes with StatReloader
Performing system checks...

System check identified no issues (0 silenced).

Django version 4.1.6, using settings 'channelsdemo.settings'
Starting development server at http://127.0.0.1:8000/
Quit the server with CONTROL-C.
Not Found: /ws/
[01/Feb/2023 17:18:57] "GET /ws/ HTTP/1.1" 404 2205

Hope your end could provide some guidances on this.

Thank you!

Hi, looks like you are using the latest version of Django. Please install the daphne server and include it in the installed apps.

pip install daphne

INSTALLED_APPS = [ 
'django.contrib.admin', 'django.contrib.auth', 'django.contrib.contenttypes', 'django.contrib.sessions', 'django.contrib.messages', 'django.contrib.staticfiles', 
'channels' ,
'daphne'
]

I will also update in the blog. Thank you for pointing it.
