Log4net does not write the log in the log file
Do you call
log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure();somewhere to make log4net read your configuration? E.g. in Global.asax:
void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e) { // Code that runs on application startup // Initialize log4net. log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure();}
Use this FAQ page: Apache log4net Frequently Asked Questions
About 3/4 of the way down it tells you how to enable log4net debugging by using application tracing. This will tell you where your issue is.
The basics are:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?><configuration> <appSettings> <add key="log4net.Internal.Debug" value="true"/> </appSettings></configuration>And you see the trace in the standard output
As @AndreasPaulsson suggested, we need to configure it. I am doing the configuration in AssemblyInfo file. I specify the configuration file name here.
// Log4Net Configuration.[assembly: log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator(ConfigFile = "log4net.config", Watch = true)]
