Django Python Has Stopped Working When Trying To Run Server After Closing It Once

python manage.py runserver works fine the first time, but after closing it with ctrl+c, I can't start it up again. I get the error message 'Python has stopped working'. This is ea

Solution 1:

This happens to me and I'm not using Pycharm. I'm using Powershell, Python 3.6 and Django 1.10

If you do

python manage.py runserver --noreload

then it works.

This was reported but as it's not clear if it's related to Powershell or Django, the report is not allowed to be open. https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/27766

Solution 2:

First step was to set the environment variable.

1. windows key + pause or Control Panel\System and Security\System
2. Advance system settings (this will open system property)
3. navigate to Advanced tab > Environment variable
4. Edit path - append c:\python36 in variable value field
5. Change 'c:\python36' to ';c:\python36'

then /python manage.py runserver should work

I have no idea why but it worked for me.
