Andrew, it doesn't seem to have fixed my problem. I type the following command, and am able to connect to my public ip, and although my page loads, only the frontend does anything. Channels does not work.
$ daphne -b 0.0.0.0 firstproject.asgi:channel_layer 2017-05-03 06:11:51,196 INFO Starting server at tcp:port=8000:interface=0.0.0.0, channel layer firstproject.asgi:channel_layer. 2017-05-03 06:11:51,197 INFO HTTP/2 support enabled 2017-05-03 06:11:51,197 INFO Using busy-loop synchronous mode on channel layer 2017-05-03 06:11:51,197 INFO Listening on endpoint tcp:port=8000:interface=0.0.0.0 127.0.0.1:51076 - - [03/May/2017:06:11:57] "GET /" 200 5801 Is there anything else I may be doing wrong? Is it because I have "localhost" in my CHANNEL_LAYERS in CONFIG? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
