django development server, how to stop it when it run in background?
PythonDjangoServerPython Problem Overview
I use a Cloud server to test my django small project, I type in manage.py runserver and then I log out my cloud server, I can visit my site normally, but when I reload my cloud server, I don't know how to stop the development server, I had to kill the process to stop it, is there anyway to stop the development?
Python Solutions
Solution 1 - Python
The answer is findable via Google -- and answered in other forums. Example solution is available on the Unix & Linux StackExchange site.
To be explicit, you could do:
ps auxw | grep runserver
This will return the process and its respective PID, such as:
de 7956 1.8 0.6 540204 55212 ? Sl 13:27 0:09 /home/de/Development/sampleproject/bin/python ./manage.py runserver
In this particular case, the PID is 7956. Now just run this to stop it:
kill 7956
And to be clear / address some of the comments, you have to do it this way because you're running the development server in the background (the & in your command). That's why there is no "built-in" Django stop option...
Solution 2 - Python
One liner..
pkill -f runserver
Solution 3 - Python
well it seems that it's a bug that django hadn't provided a command to stop the development server . I thought it have one before~~~~~
Solution 4 - Python
Try this
lsof -t -i tcp:8000 | xargs kill -9
Solution 5 - Python
Ctrl+c should work. If it doesn't Ctrl+/ will force kill the process.
Solution 6 - Python
As far as i know ctrl+c or kill process is only ways to do that on remote machine. If you will use Gunicorn server or somethink similar you will be able to do that using Supervisor.
Solution 7 - Python
We can use the following command.
> -> netstat -ntlp
then we will get number of process running with PID, find our python server PID and Kill process.
> -> kill -9 PID
For example:
Solution 8 - Python
From task manager you can end the python tasks that are running.
Now run python manage.py runserver from your project directory and it will work.
Solution 9 - Python
Programmatically using a .bat script in Command Prompt in Windows:
@ECHO OFF
SET /A port=8000
FOR /F "tokens=5" %%T IN ('netstat -ano ^| findstr :%port%') DO (
SET /A processid=%%T
TASKKILL /PID %%T /F
)
gives
SUCCESS: The process with PID 5104 has been terminated.
Solution 10 - Python
You can Quit the server by hitting CTRL-BREAK.
