I thought as much originally so I culled the config back to just send an email 
from a test page.  Manually created and sent an email from the function which 
worked fine.

Hi David,

 

I am using log4net in IIS7 on Server 2008 without any issues.  One thing you 
might want to check is that the App pool user has permission to write the log 
file.

 

If your site is www.somesite.com, by default the application pool runs under a 
user called "IIS AppPool\www.somesite.com".  The trick is that this user does 
NOT show up in the standard file\folder security dialog.  You need to type it 
an as above, then click Check Names and it should be recognised.

 

Failing this you could try Process Monitor to see if there are any failed 
writes to the log file due to security.

 

Cheers,
Alan

Hey guys,

 

Has anyone had any issues with getting log4net working in an ASP.Net project 
running on Windows Server 2008 (IIS 7). My configuration works on both my 
Windows 7 development machine and another windows server 2003 web server. I 
have cut the config down but still nothing works.

 

This is a pretty broad question but I am kind of out of ideas.

 

Cheers,

 

Dave
