RE: Specifying a specific folder for log files.

[Georg Jansen]

Piyush,   I have successfully used the configuration listed below:   <appender name="RollingFileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">    <file value="..\\..\\Error.Log"/>    <lockingModel type="log4net.Appender.FileAppender+MinimalLock" />                   <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">       <conversionPattern value="%date [%thread] %-5level %logger [%ndc] - %message%newline"/>    </layout>    <appendToFile value="true" />    <rollingStyle value="Size" />    <maxSizeRollBackups value="10" />    <maximumFileSize value="100KB" />    <staticLogFileName value="true" /> </appender>   The only difference I can se from your configuration to mine is that in your configuration the file is specified as:   <param name="File" value="..\\Log\\Error.log"/>   While in my configuration the file is specified as:   <file value="..\\Log\\Error.log"/>   I tried to switch to your configuration, and that works as well, so this is probably no answer to your issue, but only a confirmation that the configuration you are trying, is working in my environment.   The new config section (in app.config) after I switched to your configuration is listed below:   <appender name="ErrorRollingFileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">    <param name="File" value="..\\Log\\Error.log" />    <param name="AppendToFile" value="true" />    <param name="MaxSizeRollBackups" value="10" />    <param name="MaximumFileSize" value="500000" />    <param name="RollingStyle" value="Size" />    <param name="StaticLogFileName" value="true" />    <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">       <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%n %d %-5p - %m%n" />     </layout> </appender>   Best regards Georg http://www.l4ndash.com - Log4Net Dashboard / Log Viewer
