Imported a django web app from github, and the server runs but can't connect in browser window

I'm new to repl.it. I'm running on Windows 10. Here's what I did:

Step One: I imported my Django web app from Github

Step Two: Configured .replit to include:
language = "python3" and
run = "python manage.py runserver"

Step Three: Clicked on the RUN button, with a good outcome: ("starting development server at http://127.0.0.1:8000/")

Step Four: Looked at browser window to see http://127.0.0.1:8000/ but there's a message that it refuses to connect.

I've tried turning off my windows firewall, I've tried three different browsers, I've tried updating ALLOWED_HOSTS in settings.py, and I've tried port 8080 and 3000. Still no joy.

What am I missing? It could be something simple. Thank you.

Change your .replit to:


language = "python3"
run = "python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000"

When I switch to 0.0.0.0:8000, I get a Bad Request message: DisallowedHost at /
Invalid HTTP_HOST header: '1944af39-b599-40cf-a6ba-c1a9f3897dcc.id.replitusercontent.com'. You may need to add '1944af39-b599-40cf-a6ba-c1a9f3897dcc.id.replitusercontent.com' to ALLOWED_HOSTS.

Can you advise me?

add it to the allowed_hosts

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/ref/settings/#allowed-hosts

simply make the allowed hosts *

Okay I have added *

to allowed hosts. Now I'm getting this message from my browser: This site can’t be reachedThe webpage at http://0.0.0.0:8000/ might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.
ERR_ADDRESS_INVALID

i see this

you should be visiting https://thecattycook.geekandglitter.repl.co/ not your local machine.

Make sure the host is 0.0.0.0:8000 not 127.0.0.1:8000 or else it will not work.

It is. Here is my .replit:
language = "python3"
run = "python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000"

I've done everything exactly as you told me. There must be one more thing I'm missing. I'll take any suggestions you've got.

oh hey look it works!

You did it! You solved it! When I went to the right place (duh I should have known) it told me what to add to ALLOWED_HOSTS. Once I did that, it worked. Here's what it said to add to ALLOWED_HOSTS:
thecattycook.geekandglitter.repl.co

You rock!

yay!! No problem :D
