title: Can't get Log4Net to work in our WCF application
body: <p>We are trying to use Log4Net to log from our IIS 6-deployed WCF Application.  We are trying to log to a file, but can't seem to get the log files to be created, let alone see the logging output in them.  The pertinent pieces of out web.config are:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;sectionGroup name="common"&gt;
      &lt;section name="logging" type="Common.Logging.ConfigurationSectionHandler, Common.Logging" /&gt;
  &lt;/sectionGroup&gt;
  ...
  &lt;common&gt;
      &lt;logging&gt;
          &lt;factoryAdapter type="Common.Logging.Simple.TraceLoggerFactoryAdapter, Common.Logging"&gt;
              &lt;arg key="level" value="INFO" /&gt;
              &lt;arg key="showLogName" value="true" /&gt;
              &lt;arg key="showDataTime" value="true" /&gt;
              &lt;arg key="dateTimeFormat" value="yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss:fff" /&gt;
          &lt;/factoryAdapter&gt;
      &lt;/logging&gt;
  &lt;/common&gt;
  
  &lt;log4net&gt;
      &lt;appender name="FileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender"&gt;
          &lt;param name="File" value="c:\logs\ApplicationInfoTest.log" /&gt;
          &lt;threshold value="INFO" /&gt;
          &lt;param name="AppendToFile" value="true" /&gt;
          &lt;param name="DatePattern" value="ddMMyyyy" /&gt;
          &lt;param name="MaxSizeRollBackups" value="10" /&gt;
          &lt;param name="MaximumFileSize" value="10MB" /&gt;
          &lt;param name="RollingStyle" value="Size" /&gt;
          &lt;param name="StaticLogFileName" value="true" /&gt;
          &lt;layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout"&gt;
              &lt;param name="Header" value="\r\n\r\n---------------------------------------------\r\n" /&gt;
              &lt;param name="Footer" value="\r\n---------------------------------------------\r\n\r\n" /&gt;
              &lt;param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d [%t] %-5p - %m%n" /&gt;
          &lt;/layout&gt;
      &lt;/appender&gt;
      &lt;root&gt;
          &lt;level value="INFO" /&gt;
          &lt;appender-ref ref="FileAppender" /&gt;
      &lt;/root&gt;
    &lt;/log4net&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>With this configuration we can see INFO level logging coming out of our application when using DebugView, but it is clear that this is from the 
      
  piece and not the<br>
      
  piece.  </p>
  
  <p>Is there something that we have failed to set up in web.config?  Is it a permissions issue with the directory we have created for the logs to be written to?</p>
  
  <p>Please point out our obvious mistake.</p>
