log4net localhost log file

I have log4net setup on our site. Its working fine in our dev and live sites, but I cant seem to get it to work on localhost. I tried changing the file in the config to \folder\filename and also c:\path\filename. I ran thru a debug of the code, and it is going thru those sections of code w/o error. Is there folder permissions or something else that would prevent this from working locally?

Using windows xp w/ IIS 5.1

Check the path while debugging to which location your app is pointing to.

I was inspecting the object in my code trace, but wasnt able to see a file path in any of them. Any other thoughts?

I dont think windows XP checks for write permissions. If possible can you paste your log4net.config file.

Thanks.

Every thing looks fine except file.

file name should be like this <file value="..\App_Data\Logs\BVLogs.log"/>

As you told you tried with "C:\..." I don think that is an issue. But try changing it to absolute path and restart your IIS.

I used log4net in windows app and out of my knowledge it should work with the above config. Give it a try restarting IIS after making changes to file.
