Log4net supports a pluggable file locking mechanism. The default implementation is to use an exclusive lock. You should consider using a MinimalLock:
http://logging.apache.org/log4net/release/sdk/log4net.Appender.FileAppender.MinimalLock.html which would allow multiple processes to write to it. ----- Original Message ---- From: Pradeeptp <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: log4net-dev@logging.apache.org Sent: Thursday, September 11, 2008 8:27:02 AM Subject: Same file read/write from Multiple process Hi All, I am considering to use Log4Net in a web service to write to a single log file. I want to know whether writing to a single file in this manner through Log4Net is safe. The current code I have implemented is in C# in which I am writing to a single file which gives me error "The process cannot access the file XXXXX because it is beign used by another process" To resolve the above problem I am considering using Log4Net. If anyone has any experience in using Log4Net please confirm me that this error will not happen in Log4Net.
