Debug toolbar panel is almost always empty

See original GitHub issue

Almost all of the time when I load my site the debug toolbar is empty like this:

I have made the following configurations in my projects settings.py

DEBUG = True
TEMPLATE_DEBUG = DEBUG

MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
    'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',
    'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware',

    )

)

INTERNAL_IPS = (

    'XX.XX.XXX.XXX',

    'debug_toolbar.panels.logger.LoggingPanel',
    #'debug_toolbar.panels.redirects.InterceptRedirectsPanel',
    'debug_toolbar_mongo.panel.MongoDebugPanel',
)

def show_toolbar(request):
    return True


DEBUG_TOOLBAR_CONFIG = {
    'INTERCEPT_REDIRECTS': False,
    #'SHOW_TOOLBAR_CALLBACK': show_toolbar,
    # 'EXTRA_SIGNALS': ['myproject.signals.MySignal'],
    #'HIDE_DJANGO_SQL': False,
    'TAG': 'div',
    'DEBUG_TOOLBAR_MEDIA_ROOT' : ' /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/debug_toolbar/', 
    'RENDER_PANELS' : True
    }

I do see the panels populated if I force my webapp to display a traceback. The pages are in HTML and they have the requisite <html></html> <body></body> tags.

Yes, I’ve just updated the docs to remind readers that blindly copy-pasting stuff without attempting to understand it is likely to yield sub-par results.
