Hi @mchhapolia ,

If you installed Horilla by following the steps in the README file but cannot access the server in the browser, let's debug the issue.

Please run the following command in your terminal and share a screenshot of the output:

python3 manage.py runserver

This will help us check if the server is starting properly or if there are any errors. Also, let us know if you are accessing the correct URL in the browser (default is http://127.0.0.1:8000).

Looking forward to your response so we can assist further! 🚀

Best Regards,
Team Horilla

Hi Team,

I still continued and got next error :

CommandError: Can't find msgfmt. Make sure you have GNU gettext tools 0.15 or newer installed.

I installed it using below command.

(horillavenv) root@delu-nu-Horilla-001:~/horilla# sudo apt-get install gettext
Reading package lists... Done

I started the server without any problem : refer below message :

File “/root/horilla/horillavenv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/django/contrib/humanize/locale/nn/LC_MESSAGES/django.po” is already compiled and up to date.

Quit the server with CONTROL-C.

I have installed it on Ubuntu and now trying to access the horilla using IP address.

In .env file, I have updated the below:

Don't use "*" for ALLOWED_HOSTS in production

ALLOWED_HOSTS=116.203.57.103,www.example.com,example.com,*

Kindly suggest, how to access the application using IP.

thanks again.
