which server did I use,when I type "python manage.py runserver"? apache? or a simple http server in python? And I have apache 2.2 listening port 80.

Answer 1

You are using Django's development server, which as you say is a simple http server written in Python, and runs in the Python process you start with the "python manage.py runserver" command. Note that this server is not meant for production use. For example, it can handle only one request at a time.
