App.config file is causing errors in 1.2.8

[Pawan Singh]

Hi,

I am using the log4net 1.2 beta 8 for .Net 1.1. The example config file
in the distribution for vb.net does not work - so I took elements from
the Java version. Now all the configuration stuff is read, but
DOMConfigurator prints an error.
log4net:ERROR DOMConfigurator: ConfigureFromXML called with null
'element' parameter
log4net:ERROR DOMConfigurator: ConfigureFromXML called with null
'element' parameter

Here is my simple app.config file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>

        <configSections>
                <section name="log4net"
type="System.Configuration.IgnoreSectionHandler" />
        </configSections>

        <appSettings>
                <!-- To enable internal log4net logging specify the
following appSettings key -->
                <add key="log4net.Internal.Debug" value="true"/>
        </appSettings>

        <!-- This section contains the log4net configuration settings
-->
        <log4net>
                
                <appender name="ConsoleAppender"
type="log4net.Appender.ConsoleAppender">
                        <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
                                <param name="ConversionPattern"
value="%d [%t] %-5p %c [%x] &lt;%X{auth}&gt; - %m%n" />
                        </layout>
                </appender>
                
                <!-- Setup the root category, add the appenders and set
the default level -->
                <root>
                        <level value="ALL" />
                        <appender-ref ref="ConsoleAppender" />
                        <!-- <appender-ref ref="A" /> -->
                </root>

                <!-- Specify the level for some specific categories -->
                <logger name="WindowsApplication1.Form1">
                        <!-- <appender-ref ref="B" /> -->
                        <level value="ALL" />
                        <appender-ref ref="ConsoleAppender" />
                </logger>
                
        
        </log4net>
</configuration>
