Originally created by @hackdefendr on GitHub (Nov 8, 2025).

This is a brand new fresh installation and the only thing I did different was to put an Nginx reverse proxy in front of the app. DJANGO_ALLOWED_HOSTS is default, but it won't allow me to access and instead throws an HTTP 400 as shown below:

localhost  | [2025-11-08 09:34:56] - ERROR - django.security.DisallowedHost - Invalid HTTP_HOST header: 'finance.knowelltech.net'. You may need to add 'finance.knowelltech.net' to ALLOWED_HOSTS.

localhost  | django.core.exceptions.DisallowedHost: Invalid HTTP_HOST header: 'finance.knowelltech.net'. You may need to add 'finance.knowelltech.net' to ALLOWED_HOSTS.

I have already tried adding my server's fqdn in my hosts file and on that DJANGO_ALLOWED_HOSTS configuration in .env and still it won't let me access the web frontend.

Can someone please help?

Hey there

What does your DJANGO_ALLOWED_HOSTS variable looks like?

It should look something like this:
DJANGO_ALLOWED_HOSTS=localhost 127.0.0.1 [::1] finance.knowelltech.net

Also, are you using HTTPS? If not, you may want to set HTTPS_ENABLED to false

localhost 127.0.0.1 [::1] finance.knowelltech.net

That was it. Order of operation. I had my hostname first and never tried it like you showed.

Thanks!!

For future reference: the order should not matter, but who knows. Either way, glad you got it working, hoping you like the app.
