I ran into the same problem and ended up using MinimalLock, mainly
because it worked. There may be a better way.
Here is my code:
<log4net>
<appender name="RollingFile"
type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">
<file value="logs\SynchroV4.log"/>
<appendToFile value="true" />
<maximumFileSize value="2048KB" />
<maxSizeRollBackups value="-1" />
<countDirection value="1" />
<lockingModel type="log4net.Appender.FileAppender+MinimalLock"
/>
<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
<conversionPattern value="%date [%thread] %-5level %logger -
%message%newline" />
</layout>
</appender>
<root>
<!-- Levels (from lowest to highest): ALL | DEBUG | INFO | WARN |
ERROR | FATAL | OFF | -->
<level value="INFO" />
<appender-ref ref="RollingFile" />
</root>
</log4net>
Hope this helps.

Subject: RollingLogFileAppender
Hi all,
Quick question. I am using a RollingLogFileAppender on a webservice.
Logging works 100%, but whenever I try to open the log file for reading
in another process I get a sharing violation on the log file. I open the
file with:
FileStream file = new FileStream(fileName, FileMode.Open,
FileAccess.Read, FileShare.Read);
Would I have to enable MinimalLock, or is there a way to use
ExclusiveLock and have another process read from the log file ?
Kind regards
