Hiya

I am currently logging my errors using the Log4NET logging tool. The code works on the local machine, yet when I transfer it to the host server, the files are not logging.

The configuration I am using for Log4NET is below:

HTML

<configSections>
    <section name="log4net" type="log4net.Config.Log4NetConfigurationSectionHandler, log4net" />
  </configSections>
  <log4net>
    <appender name="FileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.FileAppender">
      <param name="File" value="Log4Net.log" />
      <param name="AppendToFile" value="true"/>
      <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
        <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d [%t] %-5p %c %m%n" />
      </layout>
    </appender>

    <root>
      <level value="All" />
      <appender-ref ref="FileAppender" />
    </root>
  </log4net>

I have set it up using the tutorial found at this site

Can anyone offer any guidance. It works with IIS, just not on the main site.

Thanks in advance!

Is Log4Net installed on the hosting server or are you copying its dlls? You likely need to check with your hoster.

I'm copying the dlls.

Make sure the file / directory Log4Net is logging to is writeable for the user that uses the logging and point Log4Net to the full path. You could try it to make you're c:\temp folder read/write accessible for everyone and change the web.config to

<param name="File" value="c:\temp\Log4Net.log" />
