Ryan,
log4net 1.2 beta 8 uses AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory as the
base path for relative file paths. In an ASP.NET hosted application this
is the path to the root of the application not the SYSTEM32 directory.
I use the following appender config for my web app:
<appender name="File" type="log4net.Appender.FileAppender">
<file value="log\\WebUI.log" />
<appendToFile value="true" />
<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
<conversionPattern value="%d [%t] %-5p %c [%x] - %m%n" />
</layout>
</appender>
To see the full path that the appender is trying to open, and any errors
that may be occurring, you need to enable internal logging.
http://logging.apache.org/log4net/release/manual/faq.html#internalDebug
As you are running a web service you will probably need to use the
DebugView tool from http://www.sysinternals.com to capture the
messages.
This sort of question should probably be discussed on the log4net-user
list rather than the log4net-dev list.
See http://logging.apache.org/log4net/support.html for details on
subscribing and posting.
Cheers,
Nicko
