How can I do runserver command for a Django project?

I'm trying to create a uMap with following instruction.

https://umap-project.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install/

Luckey, I reached the end of instruction, runserver.

The privious databese issue was fixed. https://www.pythonanywhere.com/forums/topic/29543/#id_post_93208

so, I'm stuck at runserver. I don't know suitable ip and port number. Let me know, how shoud I put ip and port, and how to publish the web service.

My try and error log is bellow ([myID] is my id letters)

I'm using this parameter in local.py

INTERNAL_IPS = ('127.0.0.1', )
ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['*', ]

runserver command is for local development purposes -- you can use it on your local machine. On PythonAnywhere you need to configure a web app. So the development cycle on PythonAnywhere would be slightly different than on the local machine -- every time you change the source code of your web app, you need to reload it for the changes to take effect.

Thank you for your quick reply. So that means no solution on pythonanuwhere? Should I move to other platform? Let me know your opinion. My purpose is creating a uMap project web service.

I suppose the solution is not using runserver command at all and following the methodology I described above (if you want to develop your app on PythonAnywhere directly).

I made it! Finally, my uMap service starts working.

This Tutorial was the hint, so I struggled for several hours and fixed it. https://help.pythonanywhere.com/pages/FollowingTheDjangoTutorial/ I should edit auto ganalated wsgi by pythonanywhere web console to indicate installed umap's settings.

Thank you
