python manage.py runserver shows an old webapp page I developed

Question

I am learning Django so I've created many Django webapps under one directory. For example,

\webapps
  \polls
    \polls
    \api
    \manage.py
    ...
  \ponynote
    \ponynote
    \frontend
    \manage.py
    ...

I didn't use a virtualenv for developing django apps. I don't know whether it's the reason that causes the problem as below.

App 1 python manage.py runserver works all fine. (default port 8000)

App 2 python manage.py runserver still shows the App 1 page.

Method I tried:

change the port python manage.py runserver 8001, it shows App 2 page.
try to find the process ID PID, and kill it. No sign of port 8000.

However, this isn't the best solution since I can't change the port everytime when developing a new django app. Does anyone have a clue why this happens? Kudos.

Problem solved: remove web browser cache. In my case, it's Chrome.

If you run both of them at the same time, you may run into problems. Try running both of them in different ports. — Pranava Mohan, Jul 28 '21 at 07:23
@bdbd It's the cache. I tried to run in incognito. It worked. Kudos. Then I deleted cache to run in Chrome. It worked fine. — KailiC, Jul 28 '21 at 07:33

One effective solution would be to create a bash script for your use. Create 2 separate bash scripts for your projects (The same dir where your project's manage.py can be found).

For App 1:

# script- App 1
python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

For App 2:

# script- App 2
python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8080

And for running:

./yourbashscriptfile
