Log Files Role Over After 1 Entry

["Hankey, Chris" <Ch...@Transamerica.com>]

We have an issue where log4net is rolling over log  files after one entry.  So based upon the config below, we end up with 25 1k log files.  This does not always happen.  The pattern seems to be that when we restart the site, log4net either works OK or does not & continues that way until we restart the app pool again.  Any clues?  We are using v 1.2.1



Thanks

Chris

You are probably logging from several AppDomains to the same log file. This
is not really supported by Log4Net, not even with the 'minimal' locking
style. Try the http://log4netremotelogging.codeplex.com/ which solves this
and other issues whith several log sources.
