RE: problems with windows service

I think you are missing this in the AssemblyInfo.VB
<Assembly: log4net.Config.DOMConfigurator(ConfigFile:="log4net.config.xml", 
Watch:=True)>

Subject: problems with windows service


Hello,

I have created a windows service, installed it to use the (at first) the 
local system admin account, then the local system account.  I have 
verified that I have the necessary permissions (by simply creating a 
file & writing to it), but log4net is showing Is...Enabled = false on 
all levels.

my config looks like this:

<configuration>
   <configSections>
       <section
             name="log4net"
             type="System.Configuration.IgnoreSectionHandler" />
   </configSections>
   <appSettings>
      <!-- other settings ->
   </appSettings>
   <log4net>
       <appender
             name="RollingLogFileAppender"
             type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">
           <file
value="${windir}/System32/LogFiles/CompanyName/ServiceName/ServiceName.log" 
/>
           <appendToFile value="true" />
           <rollingStyle value="Date" />
           <datePattern value="yyyy-MM-dd" />
           <staticLogFileName value="true" />
           <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
               <header value="[Header]&#13;&#10;" />
               <footer value="[Footer]&#13;&#10;" />
               <conversionPattern value="...(removed for email)" />
           </layout>
       </appender>
       <root>
           <level value="ALL" />
           <appender-ref ref="RollingLogFileAppender" />
       </root>
   </log4net>
</configuration>


I have the assembly level attribute to look for the config info in 
AssemblyInfo.cs

using log4net.Config;

[assembly: XmlConfigurator(Watch=true)]

If I run the executable as a normal executable, all logging happens as 
it should, but when it runs as a service nothing happens (debugging 
shows that's because the Is...Enabled is false).

anything I've left out that would enable my service to log?

thanks,
Steve
