Why does Django server crash in PyCharm professional?
You should check if in Setting/Languages & Frameworks/Django the option Enable Django Support if selected,
then you should check if the routes to Django Project Root, Settings and manage.py are set correctly.
regards
I am working in PyCharm professional version and I am not able to run Django server from PyCharm, though I can start it from cmd.
After starting the server from cmd, everything works fine, I can reach my urls and get a response.
When I am trying to do the same from Pycharm, first I get a windows error ("Python has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Please close the program.) When I click "Close the program", it does not close, and I can see the following in error in PyCharm:
Process finished with exit code -1073741819 (0xC0000005)
I am using the following versions:
Python version: 3.6.1
Django version: 1.9.13
I have already tried Tools | Run manage.py Task | runserver , which gives the same result.
I have found a way to make this error disappear in PyCharm:
When I go to Run | Edit Configurations |  and check "No reload", then the server starts normally and I can access it through the browser.
Does anyone have a hint on why this is happening? What is the purpose of "No reload"?
Thank you for the answer!
