If your file has suffix .config, you must use configuration section 
handler. See log4net doc and bellow:

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

<log4net>

</log4net>

How are you "starting" the logging? We use log4net heavily in our apps,
and we always store the config in log4net.config, but we explicitly
start logging with something along the lines of:

string configFile =
Server.MapPath(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["log4net-config-file"]);
log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.ConfigureAndWatch(new
System.IO.FileInfo(configFile));

log = log4net.LogManager.GetLogger(
	System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().DeclaringType);
log.Info("-----------Logging Started------------");
log.Info("Application Started.");
log.InfoFormat("Watching log4net config file '{0}'", configFile);
