How to enable internal debugging is described in 
http://logging.apache.org/log4net/release/faq.htmlAnd make sure that the 
process running your application has permission to 
write/create "F:\arrowlog.txt".

logging.apache.orgSubject: no log file generatedHi, I'm trying to use log4net 
in sharepoint web parts, but no log file is being generated.  Is there 
something I'm forgetting to do?  Here's what I've got:I've got a web part that 
calls:       log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure();       ILog log = 
LogManager.GetLogger(typeof(DataDefinitionWebPart));       log.Fatal
(String.Format("{0}\n{1}\n{2}", ex.Message, ex.Source, ex.StackTrace));Then in 
my web config, I have a log4net section in configSections       <section 
name="log4net" type="log4net.Config.Log4NetConfigurationSectionHandler, 
log4net" />And I here's what I have in the log4net 
section: <log4net>   <appender name="ConsoleAppender" 
type="log4net.Appender.ConsoleAppender">     <layout 
type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">       <param name="ConversionPattern" 
value="[%t] ac.server %-5p %c - %m%
n" />     </layout>   </appender>   <appender name="TraceAppender" 
type="log4net.Appender.TraceAppender">     <layout 
type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">       <param name="ConversionPattern"

type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">     <!-- This is where your log 
is saved -->     <param name="File" 
value="F:\arrowlog.txt" />     <appendToFile value="true" />     <rollingStyle 
value="Date" />     <datePattern value=".yyyy-MM-dd" />     <layout 
type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">       <param name="ConversionPattern"

Hi Tomas,

I'm trying to get the same working. What is the file whose name need to pass 
in to the call XmlConfigurator.Configure(FileInfo). Does the FileInfo points 
to the Web.config file, which contains the log4.net configurations? Mike's 
blog still does not show how to pass in the file name (or what is the file 
name).

Thanks,
Sanjay
