Hello,
problem is usually caused by wrong config file location. If you run
windows service, then service's current directory is
%systemroot%\system32, not directory, where service's EXE is located on
the harddisk. Because your config file is referenced by relative path,
it can be searched in wrong location.
I prefer configure log4net using app.config file or by special xml file,
whose location can be got using service's EXE location
(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location)

Subject: Log4net in a windows service
Hi,
I have a logging DLL which uses log4net to log to a database. I
have c# application which calls this logging DLL and log to the
database. Within my logging DLL I perform additional work and hence it
acts as a wrapper for log4net.
In my C# windows service project, in assemblyinfo.cs I added
Assembly:
log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator(ConfigFile:="mywindowsservice.dll.config"
, Watch:=True)
This config file is where I set the appeneder. If I run my unit
test it seems to work but it does not work in as a windows service. I am
using system admin privileges so it is not an issue of previlige.
Any thoughts?
