Log4Net with ASP.NET MVC...nothing happens...
- by twal
I am trying to use log4Net with Asp.net MVC and I cannot get anything to happen with it.
i created a config that is in my web project root.
Here is that config file.
<log4net>
<root>
<level value="INFO" />
<appender-ref ref="RollingLogFileAppender"/>
</root>
<appender name="RollingFileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">
<file value="C:\DWSApplicationFiles\AppLogs\app.log" />
<appendToFile value="true" />
<rollingStyle value="Size" />
<maxSizeRollBackups value="10" />
<maximumFileSize value="100KB" />
<staticLogFileName value="true" />
<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
<conversionPattern value="%d [%t]%-5p %c [%x] - %m%n" />
</layout>
</appender>
<appender name="RollingLogFileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">
<file value="C:\DWSApplicationFiles\AppLogs\app.log" />
<appendToFile value="false" />
<datePattern value="-dddd" />
<rollingStyle value="Date" />
<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
<conversionPattern value="%d [%t]%-5p %c [%x] - %m%n" />
</layout>
</appender>
</log4net>
Before I am asked, yes the application has permissions to write to the directory. I use have tested this and the application has permissions to this directoy.
here is where I am trying to use log4net.
public class HomeController : Controller
{
readonly log4net.ILog log = log4net.LogManager.GetLogger(System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().DeclaringType);
public ActionResult Index()
{
log.Error("In Index ");
return View();
}
}
when I run the appliction and go to this controller. Log4net does nothing. it doesn't create the files in that directory or anything.
I have enabled internal debugging for lognet and I get no output errors in the console.
This is all i see from log4net
