I had issues in the past with it but the only real way was to step into the application's code and see where it was failing and what error was hopefully throwing. However, I must said that in the exact way as you, this was not the case many times as Log4Net decided to die silently without any notifications to event log or anything like it. That would be nice to have so we get some feedback but I have not found a way to do so yet. If you know let me know. The only thing that I could think of is right permissions to the folder. The ASP.NET impersonation needs to have read/write access to this physical folder (Windows Explorer). Other than that, I am afraid I do not have more to add.
