You need to give the folder log4net is writing to read/write permissions for
the identity user of the AppPool that the web service is running under.
In a related note, if you are using the event log appender you have to give
that same account read/write permissions to the event log in the registry.

Hi Devin,
Thanks for the suggestion. I had added Full Control permissions for
"Everyone"
on the output directory, but that didn't help.

Hi Ken,
You didn't tell us which user you gave write access to.
Make sure that the directory you are writing your log files to has
write access by both ASP.NET user and the NETWORK SERVICE user. I
always forget which user w3wp runs under but this user needs the write
access.
Thanks,
Devin
