Taking a step back, I'd also like you to check out:
https://github.com/fluffynuts/dotnet-utils
In particular, there are two utils in there which may help with determining
what's going on, especially if the problem is something early like failure to
resolve an assembly
In the bin folder, there are:
- toggle-fusion.cmd
- asmdeps.exe
If you're unsure about the latter, you're free to build your own from the
source in that repo -- the binary is supplied for convenience only
Here's what they do:
toggle-fusion.cmd will toggle fusion logging on the host machine. Be aware that
fusion logging will negatively impact performance _a lot_ but you'll end up
with logs in C:\fusion-logs telling you about errors resolving assemblies
asmdeps.exe will give you information about assembly dependencies. By default,
when it runs, it shows you a colored tree-view of assembly dependencies for the
assemblies provided on the CLI. You can turn off color and add `-p` to get
paths for the assemblies that are resolved (and would be loaded at runtime).
Both should help to track down a missing assembly -- whether that's missing
because there is no {X}.dll or missing because assemblies further up the chain
are expecting a different version or an assembly with a different public key.

Have you tried an assembly rebind to force resolution to 2.0.9?

Hi Davyd,
The weird thing is everything had been working fine with same configuration,
framework version 4.6, etc. and all I did was update the nuget package for
log4net from 2.0.8 to 2.0.9. After that IIS w3wp process along with perfmon.dll
process on the deployment server crashed when the application was launched. No
error logs were reported even when I set the internal debug to true, nothing.
But then, if I revert the nuget package back to 2.0.8, everything is normal
again including the logs with the internal debugging turned on. So, it makes me
think that maybe the 2.0.9 version is missing a dependency library or something
but I couldn't find anything online to that effect.

Subject: RE: issues with log4net 2.0.9 under IIS for projects using .net
framework 4.5+
Hi Joseph
I've performed a (rather belated) upgrade to log4net 2.0.9 on a work project
targeting net462 and, apart from having to perform some assembly rebinds to
handle dependencies which expect log4net 2.0.8, it's working fine with an
ado.net appender and a rolling log file appender, so I'd really like to know
more about your environment & configuration.
