I just setup a django development server on a Linode and wanted to access it from outside. The server is running on port 8000. But the linode is not allowing me to access this port from outside.

I checked that iptables didn't have any rule set to block the traffic.

Is there some specific place where I need to configure the list of ports on which HTTP traffic is allowed from outside?

By default the Django dev server binds to 127.0.0.1. Bind it to 0.0.0.0 instead. But keep in mind that the dev server is a pile of bleep that's not for production use.

  • +1 - You can bind to 0.0.0.0 or to a single IP if you have many interfaces. You can also change the port number if you need to with manage.py runserver IP:port_number
