The log file seems to be missing the messages about parsing the
<appender> node. Text like this is missing:
log4net: XmlHierarchyConfigurator: Loading Appender
[AspNetFileAppender] type: [log4net.Appender.FileAppender]
log4net: XmlHierarchyConfigurator: Setting Property [File] to String
value
[C:\\BigWave\\bigwaveprojects.com\\Code\\Web\\LogFileAppender.log]
You said you've already tested code like this correct?
string physicalFilePath =
"C:\\BigWave\\bigwaveprojects.com\\Code\\Web\\LogFileAppender.log";
try
{
FileStream fileStream =
new FileStream(physicalFilePath, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write);
if (fileStream != null && fileStream.CanWrite)
{
StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(fileStream);
sw.Write(DateTime.Now.ToString());
}
else
{
Response.Write("Cannot open/write file [" + physicalFilePath + "] for
writing.");
}
}
catch(Exception e)
{
Response.Write("Error opening/writing file [" + physicalFilePath + "].
Cause: " + e.ToString();
}
You could try using this shorter notation:
<file value="log4net.txt" />
That will create a file in the root of your website (i.e. in the same
folder as web.config).
