I'm trying to log debug & error messages to a file. But I receive this

The user running django does not have write access to '/var/log'. This
is a good thing. You could give the user running django write access to
'/var/log' or run django as another user, but I definitely wouldn't
recommend that.
If I change the path to '/tmp/speedy_net_django.log' then it works.
That's because every user on the system has write access to '/tmp'.
How do I configure the server to write messages
to '/var/log/speedy_net_django.log'? We use Ubuntu and nginx.
You could create a directory under '/var/log', eg. '/var/log/speedy_net'
and give the user/group your running django as write access to that
directory and write your logs to '/var/log/speedy_net/django.log'.
Our logging settings:
https://github.com/speedy-net/speedy-net/blob/staging/speedy/core/settings/base.py
By the way, are there friendlier ways to view logging messages than with
text files?
Yes indeed. A much better solution would be to use the log system
already available on the system (eg. syslog or journald).
That way you don't have to deal with rotating log files (not sure if
djangos file logger handles that though) and permission problems.
Something like this might be useful:
