Log4Net out of a IIS Hosted WCF Service

Good day folks

I must have read about 20 different articles/approaches about how to implement log4net in ASP.NET 1.0 / 2.0 and various other application types.

Well, above articles are all ok, i d开发者_如何学运维id try/follow all of them, but i never got a log file..

What i have: IIS Hosted WCF Service.

What i want:

Logging using log4net - well, first i wanted to use Tracing (like Trace.Write in System.Diagnostics) then the Microsoft Enterprise Library and finally i'm stuck trying to figure out how to setup/configure log4net for my logging needs.

My question:

How to get log4net writing a logfile? i mean: - is it a security problem? do i really need to procmon this? - is the problem to write to a log file (security)? - is the problem that the configuration file cannot be read?

i tried:

• Specifying the log4net.config using

  [assembly: log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator(ConfigFileExtension = "log4net.config", Watch = true)]

• Specifying the configuration in web.config after the block. When i did that i wasn't able to run the Web Application anymore (IIS reports corrupt web.config).

Help in this issue is really appreciated!

Ok, my fault. It was the declaration when ConfigFileExtension is declared, log4net searches for .dll. in the web root. Just changed that to ConfigFile and it's working like a charm. my careless mistake...!
