I can run program in VS2012 (Winform) in both release and debug mode.
It works and writes log to file.
After I compiled to installable program with INNO Compiler. Then install complied program successful. The program works but no log file.
I change permission to full control and ownership. tried run as Administrator.
Still doesn't work.
Thank you.

You problem is only guessing without access to your installer/machine. You can enable log4net logging to see what is going on:
<configuration>
...
<appSettings>
<add key="log4net.Internal.Debug" value="true"/>
</appSettings>
...
<system.diagnostics>
<trace autoflush="true">
<listeners>
<add
name="textWriterTraceListener"
type="System.Diagnostics.TextWriterTraceListener"
initializeData="C:\tmp\log4net.txt" />
</listeners>
</trace>
</system.diagnostics>
</configuration>

I have a project in which I want to use log4net for logging. When I'm testing my project using a console app program, it does not log anything unless I write the log4net section in the app.config of the test project. How do i fix this ?
This is my configuration in my app.config file in the DLL:
<configuration>
<configSections>
<section name="log4net" type="log4net.Config.Log4NetConfigurationSectionHandler, log4net"/>
</configSections>
<log4net>
<appender name="RollingFileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">
<file value="MyLogFile.log" />
<appendToFile value="true" />
<rollingStyle value="Size" />
<maxSizeRollBackups value="5" />
<maximumFileSize value="10MB" />
<staticLogFileName value="true" />
<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
<conversionPattern value="%date{ABSOLUTE} [%thread] %level %logger - %message%newline%exception" />
</layout>
</appender>
<root>
<level value ="DEBUG"/>
<appender-ref ref ="RollingFileAppender"/>
</root>
</log4net>
From log4net documentation page: https://logging.apache.org/log4net/release/manual/configuration.html (Configuration Files section)
The only way to configure an application using the System.Configuration APIs is to call the log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure() method or the log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure(ILoggerRepository) method.
Make sure you are initializing log4net on your console app.
I'm using Castle with Log4Net. All folders were created but logging information is not written to a text file.
Here is the config:
<add key="log4net.Internal.Debug" value="true"/>
<add key="log4net.Internal.Error" value="true"/>
<add key="log4net.Internal.Info" value="true"/>
<add key="log4net.Internal.Fatal" value="true"/>

I'm using console application for this, and the Main method will start like this:
XmlConfigurator.Configure(new FileInfo("log4net.config"));
And everyone has permission to write, read all files in LOGS folders.
I used your same configuration of course with little modification which you can try
I created a console application as yours:
Here is my Entry point:
public class Program
{
private static readonly log4net.ILog log
= log4net.LogManager.GetLogger(System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().DeclaringType);
static void Main(string[] args)
{
XmlConfigurator.Configure(new FileInfo("..\\..\\log4net.config"));
log.Debug("Hi this is DEBUG from logging");
log.Info("This is information from logger");
log.Error("This is Error from logger");
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
And here is the configuration I used:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<configSections>
<section name="log4net"
type="log4net.Config.Log4NetConfigurationSectionHandler,
log4net"/>
</configSections>
<log4net>
<appender name="ConsoleAppender" type="log4net.Appender.ConsoleAppender,log4net">
<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
<conversionPattern value="%date{ABSOLUTE}

</layout>
<filter type="log4net.Filter.LevelMatchFilter">
<levelToMatch value="DEBUG" />
</filter>
<filter type="log4net.Filter.DenyAllFilter" />
</appender>
<appender name="debugAppender" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender,log4net">
<filter type="log4net.Filter.LevelMatchFilter">

</filter>

<maxSizeRollBackups value="-1" />
<maximumFileSize value="50MB" />

<preserveLogFileNameExtension value="true" />
<encoding value="utf-8" />
<!--<lockingModel type="log4net.Appender.FileAppender+MinimalLock" />-->
<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout,log4net">
<conversionPattern value="%date [%thread] %level %logger - %message%newline" />
</layout>
</appender>
<root>
<level value="DEBUG" />

<!--<appender-ref ref="DebugOutputAppender" />-->

You can notice I have added Console appender to check whether the logging is working as expected on the console before checking the log file.
Note: With the same configuration as yours I was not able to log any information in Console as well as file although the folder and the file were getting created without any issues.
The change I did is, added a root level element as pasted in the above configuration snippet.
You need to have one root section to house your top-level logger references. These are the loggers that inherit information from your base logger (root).
I have removed the additional loggers which you have used.
Sometimes you will want to know more about a particular part of your application. log4net anticipated this by allowing you to specify additional logger references beyond just the root logger. For example, here is an additional logger to log to the console messages that occur inside the OtherClass class object:
<logger name="Log4NetTest.OtherClass">
<level value="DEBUG"/>
<appender-ref ref="ConsoleAppender"/>
</logger>
Use it if you are really sure on this.
Good tutorial to start with log4net is here.
Let me know if you face any issues.
I'm currently creating a scheduler using Quartz.net with the CronSchedule. I'm wanting to send information regarding the 'Jobs' such as time executed and finished to a .txt file or something which logs the information, however I don't know how to approach this.
Any help?
You can use log4net, I suggest to log separate for each Job.
Before to start scheduler:
var location = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location;
log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure(new System.IO.FileInfo(location + ".config"));
In each class that extends IJob (so, in each Job):
var logger = log4net.LogManager.GetLogger("TestJobLogger");
Where obviously "TestJobLogger" is different for each Job.
In the App.config insert this, one <logger> and one <appender> for each Job you have:
<configuration>
<configSections>
<section name="log4net" type="log4net.Config.Log4NetConfigurationSectionHandler, log4net" />
</configSections>
...
<log4net>
<appender name="AppenderTestJob" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">
<appendToFile value="true" />
<rollingStyle value="Composite" />
<datePattern value=".yyyyMMdd-HH" />
<param name="ImmediateFlush" value="true" />
<maxSizeRollBackups value="10" />
<lockingModel type="log4net.Appender.FileAppender+MinimalLock" />
<file type="log4net.Util.PatternString" value="C:\PathToSaveFile\" />
<datePattern value="'test.'yyyyMMdd'.log'" />
<staticLogFileName value="false" />
<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
<conversionPattern value="%date{dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss.fff} [%t] [%-5p] (%c) - %m%n" />
</layout>
</appender>
<root>
<level value="INFO" />
</root>
<logger name="TestJobLogger" additivity="false">
<level value="INFO" />
<appender-ref ref="AppenderTestJob" />
</logger>
</log4net>
Now, you can log simply with logger.Debug("TESTTTTTT");.
I get this error when I try to configure my logger using:
log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure();
The app.config looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<configSections>
<section name="log4net" type="log4net.Config.Log4NetConfigurationSectionHandler, log4net" />
</configSections>
<log4net>
<root>
<level value="ALL" />
<appender-ref ref="LogFileAppender" />
</root>
<appender name="LogFileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender" >
<param name="File" value="C:\Logs\my-log-file.txt" />
<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="%date [%thread] %-5level %logger [%C{1}.%M] - %message%newline" />
</layout>
</appender>
</log4net>
</configuration>
I'm trying to write separate logs for each component of a system. I have one working for the main class but I get this error when trying to configure another one for a different class. What is the cause?
Thanks in adv!
I ended up using the following to configure my Add-In and RTD:
[Add-In]
log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure(
new FileInfo(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory + "MyAdd-In.dll.config"));
[RTD]
log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure(
new FileInfo(Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location) + "\\RtdServer.dll.config"));
Which then configured the separate logger for my RTD.

Every line I am logging is written to Console as well, how can I cancel it?
I want it to be appended to the log.txt file ONLY, without anything in Console.
Either you have added console appender programmatically, or this configuration file is not used by log4net. Log4net don't add any default appenders (like default TraceListener in .net). And this configuration specifies only RollingFileAppender. So, verify which configuration file is used, and whether some appenders added in the code.
