Very simple file appender logging not working

Question

Here\'s my web.config information:

Answer 1

Is it possible to run Debug View on the webserver?

If so, you may be able to see if log4net is reporting any errors (such as an access error or a error reading the configuration file)

Answer 2

As far as I can see you are missing an appender for root:

<root>
  <level value="ALL" />
  <appender-ref ref="RollingFileAppender" />
</root>

Answer 3

I had to call fileAppender.ActivateOptions() to get it logging

Answer 4

I found the answer: I needed the requirePermission="false" tag in my web.config's configuration seciton.

<configSections>
    <section name="log4net" type="log4net.Config.Log4NetConfigurationSectionHandler, log4net" **requirePermission="false"**/>
</configSections>
