While running Django project, I am getting the following error:

Unhandled exception in thread started by Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/utils/autoreload.py", line 229, in wrapper fn(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/core/management/commands/runserver.py", line 107, in inner_run autoreload.raise_last_exception() File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/utils/autoreload.py", line 252, in raise_last_exception six.reraise(*_exception) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/utils/autoreload.py", line 229, in wrapper fn(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/init.py", line 17, in setup configure_logging(settings.LOGGING_CONFIG, settings.LOGGING) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/utils/log.py", line 86, in configure_logging logging_config_func(logging_settings) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/logging/config.py", line 794, in dictConfig dictConfigClass(config).configure() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/logging/config.py", line 576, in configure '%r: %s' % (name, e))

ValueError: Unable to configure handler 'ap_migration_log': [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/dg/Desktop/dg_coco/coco-server/geographies/management/commands/log/ap_migration_log'

One solution I found on stackoverflow is to create these files and then this error will not occur. But, why can't Django create log files on its own when required? Is there any config setting or command to make sure that logging file isn't created manually?

have you read docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/topics/logging . I think you can find your solution here – Maede

Make sure that if you're writing the logs to /my/log/dir/log.txt, that path exists along with the empty log.txt file. Also make sure that your directory has the right permissions to perform CRUD operations. Same goes to the file.

It's best practice to store log files in /var/log/ directory.

Have a look at https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/topics/logging/#configuring-logging for examples on how Django logging works.
