Django logging: logger doesnt write to file

I'm trying to write to a logger in Django. I've got at the beginning of the views.py file:

import logging
logger = logging.getLogger('wm')

and later make calls to 

logger.debug('message')

In my settings.py file, I have defined

LOGGING = {
    'formatters': {
        'medium': {
            'format': '[%(username)s] %(levelname)s %(asctime)s: %(message)s'
        }
    },
    'handlers': {
        'wmlogfile': {
            'class': 'logging.handlers.RotatingFileHandler',
            'filename': '/var/log/django/wm.log',
            'level':'DEBUG',
            'maxBytes': 1024*1024, # 5 MB
            'backupCount': 5,
            'formatter': 'medium',
        },

    },
    'loggers': {
        'wm': {
            'handlers': ['wmlogfile'],
            'level': 'DEBUG',
            'propagate': False,
        }
    }
}

At first, I was getting 500 errors because the file didn't exist, and then because the permission was denied. I manually created the file and set the permissions to 777, and the app runs, but I get no output in the log file.

What have I done wrong?

Try setting disable_existing_loggers to False as per the example here.
