Have you verified that you can create a FileStream to the directory and create
a file? If log4net has been initialized correctly, this code will create a file
named RollingFileAppender.txt that contains the text Hello World!:
foreach (FileAppender appender in log.Logger.Repository.GetAppenders())
{
if (appender != null)
{
string directoryName = Path.GetDirectoryName(appender.File);
string tempFile = Path.Combine(directoryName, appender.Name + ".txt");
using (FileStream fileStream = File.OpenWrite(tempFile))
{
using (StreamWriter streamWriter = new StreamWriter(fileStream))
{
streamWriter.WriteLine("Hello World!");
}
}
}
}

Subject: Re: no log file is created
Dear Alvaro,
I've changed my config according to yours but I still can't log. How could I
try to troubleshoot?
