Daniel, You will have to specify the configuration data in the Web.config file and instead of using an attribute you will need to call the configure method explicitly from the Application_Start in Global.asax log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure();
If you use the ConfigureAndWatch method or the Watch option on the Attribute or specify a different log file name or extension then log4net needs to find the path to the configuration file. It looks like you don't have permission to find out where the configuration file is.
