django-tinymce fails to display the widget properly

I'm trying to use to django-tinymce (http://http://django-tinymce.googlecode.com/ ) app to display a WYSIWYG editor in the django admin.

I downloaded and installed it, downloaded the tinymce itself and put it into /js/tiny_mce, did not change anything in the settings.py and added an HTMLField to my model like so:

class MyModel(models.Model):
  text  = tinymce.models.HTMLField()
  ...

When I add a new entry through the django-admin, the tinyMCE is there, but it's all butchered up - no toolbar, no statusbar, just a plain white space where I can type. Bold/italic hotkeys work.

I use lighttpd to serve tinymce's javascripts and django's builtin server for the rest.

Can anyone help me?

EDIT: Ok, I'm not sure why exactly, but the cause of this was that lighttpd was sending improper content-types for .js'es and .css'es in response headers. Fixed by modifying lighttpd config.
