django-debug-toolbar not showing up

Question

I looked at other questions and can\'t figure it out...

I did the following to install django-debug-toolbar:

1. pip install django-debug-toolbar

Answer 1

What got me is an outdated browser!

Noticed that it loads some stylesheets from debug toolbar and guessed it might be a front-end issue.

Answer 2

For me this was as simple as typing 127.0.0.1:8000 into the address bar, rather than localhost:8000 which apparently was not matching the INTERNAL_IPS.

Answer 3

I had the same problem and finally resolved it after some googling.

In INTERNAL_IPS, you need to have the client's IP address.

Answer 4

This wasn't the case for this specific author but I just have been struggling with the Debug Toolbar not showing and after doing everything they pointed out, I found out it was a problem with MIDDLEWARE order. So putting the middleware early in the list could work. Mine is first:

MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = ( 'debug_toolbar.middleware.DebugToolbarMiddleware', 'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware', 'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware', 'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware', 'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware', 'django.contrib.messages.middleware.MessageMiddleware', 'dynpages.middleware.DynpageFallbackMiddleware', 'utils.middleware.UserThread', )

Answer 5

One stupid thing got me.. that if you use apache wsgi, remember to touch the .wsgi file to force your code recompile. just waste 20 minutes of my time to debug the stupid error :(

Answer 6

I know this question is a bit old, but today i installed django-toolbar with docker and came across with the same issue, this solved it for me

INTERNAL_IPS = ["127.0.0.1", "10.0.2.2"]

import socket
hostname, _, ips = socket.gethostbyname_ex(socket.gethostname())
INTERNAL_IPS += [".".join(ip.split(".")[:-1] + ["1"]) for ip in ips]

As i read in a comment, the issue is that docker uses a dynamic ip, to solve this we can get the ip from the code above
