I'm truing to run a django server and all of a sudden I'm not able to go
to localhost:8000. I was able to a few seconds back, but now now it's just freezing up and saying "waiting for localhost"
I'm on a Mac OS X
How do I debug this?

@Vnc I tried clearing my cache, that didn't work - the problem persists. I'll try restarting my Mac... – nz_21 Jul 09 '19 at 10:22

Some links:
Waiting for localhost : getting this message on all browsers
Waiting for localhost, forever!
Why does my machine keeps waiting for localhost forever?
To summarise it - in general it means that the 1) server is waiting for input (e.g. not returning a response), 2) some other service might be running on the same port, 3) no DB connection.
However, that said a restart should sort all these out by killing all processes that might've taken the port and by restarting the DB and reconnecting properly.
