On a django site I am getting socket cluster error

Question

Not Found: /socketcluster/
[06/Aug/2020 21:45:44] "GET /socketcluster/ HTTP/1.1" 404 3181

this happens every 61 secounds while I am running the django webserver, using "python3 manage.py runserver". I am very new to web development and have no clue what this is or means, any help is appreciated.

P.S. Do I need a db to handle requests for the web server

Answer 1

This is happening for me as well. I'm still looking into the issue and I'll update this when I have a better answer, but I've found a temporary solution.

If you start the local Django server on a different port than the default 8000, the pesky requests go away: python manage.py runserver 8001

Maybe some other process currently running thinks there's a socketcluster server active on post 8000, or something hidden in my codebase.

Answer 2

I had this problem and it turned out to be a recently installed chrome extension.
