#107005 — how to setup for localhost:8000

Hi,

I am working on window 7 and Python 3.5 to setup a localhost:8000 but it did not get through as shown below:
> python -m http.server
Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0 port 8000 ...

But it did not show the results.

Can someone help me how to setup the localhost?

Thanks,
Wen-Ruey

That looks correct so far. Now open a browser and open

http://localhost:8000/

What happens when you type

http://localhost:8000

Into the address bar of your browser as this is running?

hi Andrew,

Yes. after I type http:\\localhost:8000, the browser did not show anything except a empty page without any errors.

Thanks,
Wen-Ruey

If you got an empty page with no errors (and no warnings trying to get there...) it is likely that your server is working, and you are trying to access it correctly, but the server is not serving anything.  Most of the time, if the server is not present, you will get a timeout error saying the browser could not connect to server xxx. Or the site can't be reached, or something.

I am not however much of an expert in figuring out WHY it isn't showing anything  (I used a different lib for http servers), but I am sure someone else on this list is.  I can only tell you that you probably at least launched the server correctly.

Have you tried the example on the page in the docs? (about 3/4 of the way down).
https://docs.python.org/3/library/http.server.html

If that doesn't work, it's possible you have a firewall or browser rule blocking something... and it if does work, you can look back at your code to see what might be wrong.  (I suggest playing with the log_request, log_error, and log_message parameters to figure out what is happening.)  

OF course, that all assumes that someone else smarter than I on this list doesn't come forth and just say... "well, just do this, and poof, all  will be good".

Sorry it's not more.

Dan

Hi,

When you type http://localhost:8000, do you see something in the console after the line  "Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0 port 8000 ..." ?

If the server actually serves requests on port 8000 you should see a log message such as

127.0.0.1 - - [15/Apr/2016 20:57:32] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 -

 Hi Pierre,

When I type http://localhost:8000, I did not see anything in the console after the line "Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0 port 8000 ... I believe the way I ran was not correct as shown below:
> python -m http.server 
Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0 port 8000 ...

Also if I use internet Explorer, it shows HTTP 404 errors.
Do you think the way I am doing of the localhost:8000 setting was not correct?

Thanks,
Wen-Ruey

Do you have any anti-virus programs running?  Its possible they may be 
interfering with letting your python installation open a server on the 
local host at all, or with letting your browser access it, if it is running.

What I get in the console looks like this:

Windows PowerShell
Copyright (C) 2015 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

PS C:\Users\Monte Milanuk> python -m http.server
Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0 port 8000 ...

...and then once I open a browser window to 'localhost:8000', I get the 
following in the console:

127.0.0.1 - - [17/Apr/2016 09:21:49] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 -

Which is the python http.server telling you that it responded to a 
request from 127.0.0.1, completion code (200), etc.  If you're not 
seeing that, and you're instead getting 404 codes in the browswer 
window, something on your machine is blocking it from seeing the server.

You might try '127.0.0.1:8000' instead of 'localhost:8000' in the 
browser window, or you might try specifying different interface or port 
numbers for the server when you start it.  It *should* 'just work' as 
is, with the basic 'python -m http.server' command, but obviously it 
isn't, for whatever reason.

If you're not seeing anything there, it is sure that the Python server doesn't serve requests on port 8000. But if you're seeing a blank screen or a 404 error instead of a message saying that a connection couldn't be set up, it is likely that another HTTP server is running on your machine on port 8000.

Could you try to start the server on another port, eg "python -m http.server 8085" and see what happens in the browser with "http://127.0.0.1:8085" ?

I followed your instruction but the page shows:
The 127.0.0.1 page isn't working

127.0.0.1 didn't send any data.
ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE

and a lot of messages show on the command window..

Just a note, some browsers will try to resolve this as www.localhost.com
- try http://127.0.0.1:8000 .

Huh? Why should the name 'localhost' get a dot com added?

I'd more ask your local resolver. If the name 'localhost' can be
correctly resolved (it's commonly in your hosts file, and if not, your
local DNS resolver can easily be configured to be authoritative), no
additional TLD should be added ('localhost' is itself a valid TLD).
