Hi, I am not using the Web.Config file. I have my own (.ini) file where I store my own application configuration items, including the log4net.
I have changed the call to XmlConfigurator.Configure to XmlConfigurator.ConfigureAndWatch. When I change my .ini file, the web application is restarted. Is log4net doing this? Or do you think it is something in our application that is causing it? Thanks, Raymond -----Original Message----- From: Nicko Cadell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: July 21, 2005 12:20 PM To: Log4NET User Subject: RE: XMLConfigurator, Asp.Net The ASP.NET worker process will restart a web application if the Web.config file is changed. This may be happening in this case. Don't store the log4net configuration in the Web.config. Don't use the .config file extension for the log4net config file. This should stop ASP.NET restarting on edit. It is worth noting that the ASP.NET worker process will restart your app for many reasons (e.g. the app is idle for more than a specified time or uses too much memory) and in .net 1.0 & 1.1 it is not possible for you to control this behaviour. If you are editing the log4net config file do you want this configuration to be reloaded? If so you need to use the ConfigureAndWatch() method instead of Configure().
