No because that would produce a compile error - the problem, as I read it, is that the program works alright but the logfile just isnt created.
Anyways, it could be a security issue. A web application would probably not have rights to write to that directory you have specified. Try to set the log file like this: <file value="sample.log" /> . Then look in the directory where your application runs. That said it should definately not be nescessary to specify the location of the log4net configuration. Putting it in web.config should be enough - it could indicate a problem that is of an entirely different matter. -- Werner mabra wrote: > > > Hi ! > > To me, it looks like, you forgot to create a logger, befor you log .... > !?? > Missing: > > ILog log = log4net.LogManager.GetLogger(typeof(yourType)); > > In my web scenarios, I call it ether in the constructor or use > a "global" variable, which I initilize like shown above. > You my call it in "Application_Start(...)" > > Hope, this helps. > > br++mabra > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Dotnet_user [mailto:dotnet_use...@yahoo.com] > Sent: Tuesday, April 27, 2010 5:17 PM > To: log4net-user@logging.apache.org > Subject: Problem logging exceptions > > > Hello everyone, > > I'm using log4net to log my exceptions.
