LogFileAppender and Windows Service

[David Cruwys <mu...@yahoo.com.au>]

I would like to use log4net on a windows service, the log4net
configuration that I have used is the same as I would use for a windows
or asp.net application, but the file does not seem to be getting
written out.

I know that I have the configuration file working ok, as I can access
other config values, but the log4net is not working.

Cheers David
