Rolling date file not working

I've changed the log4net settings on our servers so it should create a
new log every day. It seems to be working great on our development
servers, but not on production. The web.congifs look identical. Can
anyone tell me what might be wrong?

 

Web config entry...

<log4net>

    <appender name="RollingFile"
type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">

                        <file value="App_Data\\Logs\BVLogs.log" />

                        <rollingStyle value="Date" />

                        <datePattern value="yyyyMMdd" />

                        <appendToFile value="true" />

                        <maximumFileSize value="1GB" />

                        <maxSizeRollBackups value="60" />

                        <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">

                                    <conversionPattern value="%date
%level %logger - %message%newline" />

                        </layout>

    </appender>

    <root>

      <level value="ALL" />

      <appender-ref ref="RollingFile" />

    </root>

  </log4net>

 

Thanks,

Nik

Re: Rolling date file not working

Usually a permissions issue.

The user account that is being used to write to the log file needs
full permissions on the log directory to be able to rename files.
