Is there anything inside of log4netInternalDebugging.txt?
Does your xml file look like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
...
</configuration>
Maybe the closing </xml> node is causing problems.
App.Config is a special filename in Visual Studio gets renamed to the
name of your executable when the project is compiled. If your proejct
was named Widget it would generate a Widget.exe as well as a
Widget.exe.config file. Are you sure your file is really app.config?
Since you're using the application's config file, you don't need to
specify the path to it:
log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure();
