How do I see the Django debug toolbar?

Question

I have a Django webapp. I have installed the debug_toolbar middleware and module. However, my webapps don\'t have the debug toolbar pull-out.

How do I actually see t

1. As I know your HTML page must contain closed body tag, meta tag with content="text/html".

2. I prefer the way when all debug-toolbar's settings separed from main settings. So try put in the end of settings.py something like

   #debug_toolbar settings
   if DEBUG:
       INTERNAL_IPS = ('127.0.0.1',)
       MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES += (
           'debug_toolbar.middleware.DebugToolbarMiddleware',
       )
   
       INSTALLED_APPS += (
           'debug_toolbar',
       )
   
       DEBUG_TOOLBAR_PANELS = [
           'debug_toolbar.panels.versions.VersionsPanel',
           'debug_toolbar.panels.timer.TimerPanel',
           'debug_toolbar.panels.settings.SettingsPanel',
           'debug_toolbar.panels.headers.HeadersPanel',
           'debug_toolbar.panels.request.RequestPanel',
           'debug_toolbar.panels.sql.SQLPanel',
           'debug_toolbar.panels.staticfiles.StaticFilesPanel',
           'debug_toolbar.panels.templates.TemplatesPanel',
           'debug_toolbar.panels.cache.CachePanel',
           'debug_toolbar.panels.signals.SignalsPanel',
           'debug_toolbar.panels.logging.LoggingPanel',
           'debug_toolbar.panels.redirects.RedirectsPanel',
       ]
   
       DEBUG_TOOLBAR_CONFIG = {
           'INTERCEPT_REDIRECTS': False,
       }
   

(Edit note: lapis updated the configs above to match the names used by the current (at the time of this update, 1.3.2) version of the Django Debug Toolbar. Per http://django-debug-toolbar.readthedocs.org/en/0.10.0/panels.html, the original versions (that used e.g. debug_toolbar.panels.sql.SQLDebugPanel vs debug_toolbar.panels.sql.SQLPanel as in 1.3.2) were correct when this question was original answered.)

(note: after Django 1.10, MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES should be MIDDLEWARE.)
