Log4net file appender does not create file

Question

I used log4net in the past without any problems, however I am having some problems with writing it to the application file. A very simple example.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
  <configSections>
    <section name="log4net" type="log4net.Config.Log4NetConfigurationSectionHandler, log4net" />
  </configSections>
  <log4net>
    <appender name="DebugFileAppender" type="log4net,Appender.FileAppender">
    <file value="Logfile.log" />
    <appendToFile value="true" />
    <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
      <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%5p [%d] - %m%n" />
    </layout>
    </appender>
    <root>
      <appender-ref ref="DebugFileAppender" />
    </root>
  </log4net>
</configuration>

Answer 1

Does the executing account have permission to write to the folder?

Answer 2

Try setting write permission for log folders for IIS_IUSRS
