Log4net doesn't process the file attribute. I'm not sure how you're using it.
These two nodes are processed identically during configuration:
<param name="Hello" value="World" />
<Hello value="World "/>

Subject: RE: Mystery concerning configuration SOLVED.
I have discovered the source of
the problem. We had split out the <log4net> configuration from
the web.config but with a redirection left inside the web.config of the form:
<log4net
file="other_config_directory/log4net.config" />
The file at the end was of the
correct syntax and could be used by log4net but only to the extent that we
used the <param...> elements.
I have modified the program to
initialized log4net directly from the split-out file and it works with full
syntactical support.
Go figure, eh?

Subject: Mystery concerning configuration
Greetings all,
I have an appender which works fine if specified with
generic XML but not when specified with conventional log4net terms in the
configuration.
Examples should help:
The following works:
<appendername="LogServiceAppender"
type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">
<paramname="File"
value="myfile.log"/>
<paramname="AppendToFile"
value="true"/>
<paramname="MaxSizeRollBackups"
value="10"/>
<paramname="MaximumFileSize"
value="1MB"/>
<paramname="RollingStyle"
value="Size"/>
<paramname="StaticLogFileName"
value="true"/>
<layouttype="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
<paramname="ConversionPattern"
value="%d{yyyy MMM dd HH:mm:ss} [%t] %-5p - %m%n"/>
</layout>
</appender>
But the following does *not* work. It fails to
initialize (I turned on the log4net debugging to see it).
<appendername="LogServiceAppender"
type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">
<filevalue="myfile.log"/>
<appendToFilevalue="true"/>
<maxSizeRollBackupsvalue="10"/>
<maximumFileSizevalue="1MB"/>
<rollingStylevalue="Size"/>
<staticLogFileNamevalue="true"/>
<layouttype="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
<conversionPatternvalue="%d{yyyy MMM dd HH:mm:ss} [%t] %-5p - %m%n"/>
</layout>
</appender>
It appears that log4net initialization does not recognized its
own XML schema. How is that possible?
