ASP.NET web application stop logging when deployed on an IIS?">
+ <p>
+ This problem has been reported by several people as
issue
+ <a
href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4NET-178";>LOG4NET-178</a>.
+ The issue seems to be caused by a broken LOG4NET
configuration
+ or a timing problem caused by an application shutdown
event that
+ floats in late after an application start event and
thus LOG4NET
+ stops logging immediately after it has been started.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The first thing step to troubleshoot problems is
enabling
+ the log4net internal debugging features as described
+ <a
href="http://logging.apache.org/log4net/release/faq.html#internalDebug";>here</a>
+ and fix all errors that pop up. If the problem still
persists,
+ <a
href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4NET-178?focusedCommentId=13504094&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-13504094";>this
comment</a>
+ suggests to move the LOG4NET configuration out of the
+ <span class="code">web.config</span> into a separate
file
+ like <span class="code">log4net.config</span>. Finally,
+ if both previous steps did not help and the problem
still
+ occurs, you can try to work around the event timing
problem
+ by invoking the configuration call from the class
constructor as described in
+ <a
href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4NET-178?focusedCommentId=13504485&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-13504485";>this
