Log file not created?
c#, log4net, log4net-configuration, logging
Solution
You must provide a real file name. What you defined within your config is a folder name. Instead of:
<param name="File" value="C:\Users\Mohit\Documents" />
use something like:
<param name="File" value="C:\Users\Mohit\Documents\log.txt" />
Also, you'll probably need elevated permissions for your application to write the log to the root c: folder. UAC won't let you write to root folder.
Like Andy said, you'll be better to choose some subfolder of Windows Users folder like:
c:\Users\Mohit\AppData\Local\<MyApplication>
log4net has some predefined variables you can use to target special folders. There are some questions about that here on SO:

Problem
I am using log4net and have completely setup it up with param name="File" value= "C:\Application.log". Yet the file is not created in C:. I am running Windows 7 and maybe something like permissions is preventing the file from being created. Here is the app.config: ``` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <configuration> <configSections> <section name="log4net" type="log4net.Config.Log4NetConfigurationSectionHandler,Log4net" /> </configSections>` <log4net> <root> <level value="DEBUG" /> <appender-ref ref="LogFileAppender" /> </root> <appender name="LogFileAppender“ type=“log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender" > <param name="File" value="C:\Users\Mohit\Documents\Application.log" /> <param name="AppendToFile" value="true" /> <rollingStyle value="Size" /> <maxSizeRollBackups value="10" /> <maximumFileSize value="10MB" /> <staticLogFileName value="true" /> <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout"> <param name="ConversionPattern“ value=“%-5p%d{yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss} – %m%n" /> </layout> </appender> </log4net> </configuration> ```
