The application is not registered

Question

The application is not registered

I have several ASP.NET applications that use log4net without problems. I could not get log4net to register anything in any of the services I wrote using the MVC libraries. I have an identical configuration (except for the log file name) in all services. Each service runs as the same user and uses the same application pool.

Here is the configuration I'm using:

<log4net>
        <appender name="XMLAppender" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">
            <file value="C:\logs\SERVICENAME.Log.xml"/>
            <appendToFile value="true"/>
            <rollingStyle value="Composite"/>
            <datePattern value="yyyyMM"/>
            <maxSizeRollBackups value="10"/>
            <maximumFileSize value="100MB"/>
            <layout type="log4net.Layout.XmlLayoutSchemaLog4j">
                <locationInfo value="false"/>
            </layout>
    </appender>
        <root>
            <level value="INFO"/>
            <appender-ref ref="XMLAppender"/>
        </root>
    </log4net>

I have a configSection entry as shown below:

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

I also turned on log4net debugging and installed system.diagnostics to write the trace to a file. Here I see the difference in output between MVC and non-MVC applications.

MVC:

In both cases, I create an ILog object as follows:

private static readonly ILog log = LogManager.GetLogger (typeof (CLASSNAME));

In my case, this was because the project properties were configured to be output to bin \ debug, but the dll log4net required that the log4net.config file exist in the BIN folder. I changed the project properties to be output to the bin folder, and the log4net.config file was then copied during assembly to the desired location.

In addition, providing “local copy” for the log4net configuration file will also prevent many problems.
