Re: no log file is created

Dear Michael,

I've tried to define an EventLogAppender as shown bellow, but still nothing happens. I may have a bigger problem ;-)
In the Solution Explorer view, I can see the Bin directory with the log4net.dll inside, so for me it looks good.

If I use an external config file for log4net, where do I tell my application to use it?

Thanx
Samuel

web.config:
<configuration xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/.NetConfiguration/v2.0">

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

<log4net>
    
    <appender name="EventLogAppender" type="log4net.Appender.EventLogAppender" >
      <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
        <conversionPattern value="%date [%thread] %-5level %logger [%property{NDC}] - %message%newline" />
      </layout>
    </appender>
    <appender name="A1" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">
      <file value="C:\Dev\Test\log\log.txt" />
      <appendToFile value="true" />
      <maxSizeRollBackups value="10" />
      <maximumFileSize value="1024KB" />
      <rollingStyle value="Size" />
      <staticLogFileName value="true" />
      <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
        <conversionPattern value="%date [%thread] %-5level %logger [%ndc] - %message%newline" />
      </layout>
    </appender>
    <root>
      <level value="DEBUG" />
      <appender-ref ref="EventLogAppender" />
    </root>
    <logger name="com.mypackage.test" >
      <level value="DEBUG" />
      <appender-ref ref="EventLogAppender" />
    </logger>
</log4net>

Are any of the other appenders working(EventViewer, Console)? If not are you configuring log4net? I see you have your configuration in your web config file. We don't do it this way.

If the others are working, it has to be in your config file or environment...

We use external config files and configure it manually during Application_Start in the global.asax. Below is a sample of our Web.log4net.config file. This way we can change logging without resetting the web site.

<log4net>

    <appender name="RollingFile" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">
        <file value="..\..\log\Regen.log" />
        <rollingStyle value="Composite" />
        <appendToFile value="false" />
        <datePattern value="yyyyMMdd" />
        <maximumFileSize value="100MB" />
        <maxSizeRollBackups value="-1" />
        <StaticLogFileName value="false" />
        <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
            <conversionPattern value="%5level [%date] [%thread] %-30.30logger{2}     %message%newline" />
        </layout>
    </appender>

    <appender name="EventLog" type="log4net.Appender.EventLogAppender" >
        <applicationName value="Regen" />
        <filter type="log4net.Filter.LevelRangeFilter">
            <levelMin value="INFO" />
        </filter>
        <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout ">
            <conversionPattern value="%logger %newline %message" />
        </layout>
    </appender>

    <root>
        <level value="DEBUG" />
        <appender-ref ref="RollingFile" />
        <appender-ref ref="EventLog" />
    </root>

</log4net>

Dear Michael,

I have changed my app to write a file using a TextWriter and this is working so I believe my app has rights to write files. But I still have the log problem, no log file is created.

Do you have any suggestion on what should I try now?

Regards
Samuel

You don't need to escape them. Here is my appender declaration...

    <appender name="RollingFile" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">
        <file value="C:\Projects\Company_Name\Project_Name\log\web.log" />
        <appendToFile value="true" />
        <maximumFileSize value="100MB" />
        <maxSizeRollBackups value="-1" />

        </layout>
    </appender>

Dear Michael,

I run the web server which comes with studio. I am not sure how / where
to configure it. I open the IIS tool, and in the "Default web site"
properties, I setup the directory rights to write. But no change is to see.

Do you need to escape the '\' characters like you do in Java for the
absolute file path like "C:\\path1\\path2\\file.txt"?

Thank you
Samuel
