RE: Independent FileAppenders

[Chad Myers]

Off-topic, but actually, it's very bad to mess around with the
permission in the Internet Services Manager (heretofore ISM).

Those permissions are for people using Front Page extensions or WebDAV,
it has no bearing on the NTFS file permissions. Please do not mess with
the permissions in ISM unless you have a specific need to do so. 

What you need to do is set the NTFS file permissions on that folder to
allow the ASPNET (Win2K, WinXP) or NETWORK (Win2003) user read, write,
execute, list folder contents, etc access to that folder.

But you said you gave Everyone Full Control and you still get nothing. 

Have you checked your Event Log? Perhaps there's something else going on
here that you haven't discovered/mentioned?

In Internet Information services applet, enable Write access for the log
folder
In Windows Explorer, grant everyone all rights to the log folder.

I also believe you should see log output in Visual Studio's output
window when you enable the console appender above and start your project
from Visual Studio (log output from my web services do this)

I have wrapped calls to log4net in my own logging framework, the
important line is

        log4net.Config.DOMConfigurator.ConfigureAndWatch( new FileInfo(
configFile ) );

Where configFile contains the name of the file containing the XML above
(I'm using a separate configuration file, not web.config)

You may want to try restrict access when you get your solution up and
running. Perhaps you can disable Read access on the folder in Internet
Information Services applet, I haven't tried this though. You should
also avoid granting everyone all rights of course.

Hope this helps.

Could you please send me the code, just in case I am doing something
wrong.

Thanks,

Ron.
