If you setup a trace listener in your web.config file:
<system.diagnostics>
<trace autoflush="true">
<listeners>
<add
name="textWriterTraceListener"
type="System.Diagnostics.TextWriterTraceListener"
initializeData="C:\\Inetpub\\wwwroot\\log4net.txt" />
</listeners>
</trace>
</system.diagnostics>
you'll be able to capture information sent through the diagnostic
libraries:
System.Diagnostics.Trace.Write("Hello World");
Note that this is different than HttpContext's Trace:
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Trace.Write("Hello World");
Log4net can be configured to write its internal debug messages to the
diagnostics trace by adding a key to the appSettings node:
<add key="log4net.Internal.Debug" value="true" />
Your final web.config file will look something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<configSections>
<section
name="log4net"
type="log4net.Config.Log4NetConfigurationSectionHandler, log4net"
/>
</configSections>
<appSettings>
<add key="log4net.Internal.Debug" value="true" />
</appSettings>
<system.diagnostics>
<trace autoflush="true">
<listeners>
<add
name="textWriterTraceListener"
type="System.Diagnostics.TextWriterTraceListener"
initializeData="C:\\inetpub\\wwwroot\\log4net.txt" />
</listeners>
</trace>
</system.diagnostics>
<log4net>
<appender
name="FileAppender"
type="log4net.Appender.FileAppender" >
<file value="c:\\inetpub\\wwwroot\\log.txt" />
<layout type="log4net.Layout.SimpleLayout" />
</appender>
<root>
<level value="ALL" />
<appender-ref ref="FileAppender" />
</root>
</log4net>
</configuration>
I would recommend putting a line in your Application_Start like this:
System.Diagnostics.Trace.Write("Application_Start");
to make sure the System.Diagnostics code was supplied with a valid file
path.
