Thanks Nicko and Ron for your help.
I tried both suggestions but still no luck.
In web.config I have:
<configSections>
<section name="log4net"
type="log4net.Config.Log4NetConfigurationSectionHandler, log4net"
requirePermission="false" />
</configSections>
as well as the log4net config section.
In Global.asax, in method "Application_Start" I have:
log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure();
The thing is, on my local machine it works (the test logs appear in the log
file), but when I add <trust level="Medium"/> to web.config to simulate the
host server, it doesn't work. No error message is generated either. I
uploaded the code to my web host too and find the same results.
What am I missing here?
Daniel

See if this works:
