Log4net is strongly named. Your named application either has to have it locally in its /bin dir (so log4net can find it via probed paths) or it must be in the GAC.
Dropping it in the global assembly cache is probably the fastest way to fix this.

I have a question regarding aspnet_regiis that allows the encryption of portions of the web.config file. I am trying to run the following command which is supposed to encrypt the log4net section of the web.config: C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_regiis.exe -pe "log4net" -app "/encrypt_florida" It errors with: Encrypting configuration section... An error occurred creating the configuration section handler for log4net: Could not load file or assembly 'log4net' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. (C:\Temp\encrypt_florida\florida_ctic_com1\florida_ctic_com\web .config line 12) Could not load file or assembly 'log4net' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. Failed! Has anyone attempted to do this or is there a better way to encrypt the connection string for the AdoNetAppender?
