Ubuntu – Postgresql + Django Development Server Won't Open in Browser (connection refused)

My attempt to create/integrate Postgresql database and run Django development server continues to fail and I’ve followed every step in this tutorial (search page for ‘Setting Up PostgreSQL with Django’): (website 1) https://www.hostinger.com/tutorials/django-tutorial

When I run the development server and type in the browser http://127.0.0.1:8000 to connect, I get a page cannot be reached. ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

Thinking it is a firewall issue I then followed the instructions on this page to open both (8000 port & 5432 port to any ip address (I copied example 1 on the page) –> 5432 is the default PostgreSQL port so I included that as well with 8000 just incase, and it still does not work: (website 2) https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-open-allow-incoming-firewall-port-on-ubuntu-22-04-jammy-jellyfish

I double checked and know that I entered in my settings.py file the correct Database engine, name, user, password, host, and port because I followed the steps in (website 1).

And I tried opening both the 5432 and 8000 port to any ip address incase the page was not opening because of a firewall issue from the example 1 in (website 2).

I don’t know what else to do.

Please help, I am so frustrated!

    Although my VPS had ports 8000 and 5432 manually opened, my computer itself has all ports closed. Right now i'm "googling" how to open my ports to my Hostinger/VPS only.

    I figured my own computers ports were closed using this website: https://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/

    @Dharman, interesting, I thought this was the accepted procedure if you answer you own question. I have seen that comment often. Could you tell me what is misleading about it?
