RE: Problem getting Log4net to work

[Neil Haughton]

Woohoo! That did the trick.

Clearly there's something wrong with the way I use the
XmlConfiguratorAttribute, although I haven't had any problems with
.Net1.1. Maybe it's a .Net2.0 issue in log4net?

Thanks,

Neil.

Appears that log4net is looking in the application's working folder?
Haven't read the documentation in a while, but I can't remember seeing
that the full path of a filename should be relative to the starting
assembly's base folder?

This problem will also surface if you run your application as a windows
service, where your default working folder is likely to be
%windir%\System32.

Not a direct solution to your problem, but personally I prefer to
configure log4net during application startup using the API:

log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.ConfigureAndWatch( new FileInfo(
configFile ) );

where configFile is a full path based on or equal to the starting
assembly's base path.

Regards,
Dag

Thanks for responding. My mistake and I've corrected it, but it doesn't
make a difference:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
        <log4net>


...

                <appender name="RollingFileAppenderTRACE"
type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">
                        <file value="c:\logs\MatrixTRACE.log" />
                        <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
                                <conversionPattern value="%m%newline" />
                        </layout>
                        <appendToFile value="true" />
                        <maximumFileSize value="100KB" />
                        <maxSizeRollBackups value="2" />
                </appender>
...

                <logger name="Matrix.Trace">
                         <!--this is for routine debug logging to a
file--> 
                        <level value="DEBUG" />
                        <appender-ref ref="RollingFileAppenderTRACE" />
                </logger>
...
        </log4net>

(This is the config file in the executable directory).

Regards,
Neil

The top level node should be log4net when you're using a stand-alone
configuration file, not configuration. Configuration is afaik only used
in app.config files.

The bare bones of the log4net.config file is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
    <log4net>


        <appender name="RollingFileAppenderROOT"
type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">
            <file value="c:\logs\MatrixROOT.log" />
            <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
                <conversionPattern value="%m%newline" />
            </layout>
            <appendToFile value="true" />
            <maximumFileSize value="100KB" />
            <maxSizeRollBackups value="2" />
        </appender>


        <appender name="RollingFileAppenderTRACE"
type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">
            <file value="c:\logs\MatrixTRACE.log" />
            <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
                <conversionPattern value="%m%newline" />
            </layout>
            <appendToFile value="true" />
            <maximumFileSize value="100KB" />
            <maxSizeRollBackups value="2" />
        </appender>


        <root>
            <appender-ref ref="RollingFileAppenderROOT" />
        </root>

        <logger name="Matrix.Trace">
             <!--this is for routine debug logging to a file--> 
            <level value="DEBUG" />
            <appender-ref ref="RollingFileAppenderTRACE" />
        </logger>

    </log4net>
</configuration>
