title: Where will log4net create this log file?
body: <p>When I set the file value to <code>logs\log-file.txt</code>, where exactly will it create this folder?  In the <code>/bin</code> directory?</p>
  
  <p>My web.config looks like this:</p>
  
  <pre class="lang-xml prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;log4net&gt;
      &lt;appender name="FileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.FileAppender"&gt;
        &lt;file value="logs\log-file.txt" /&gt;
        &lt;appendToFile value="true" /&gt;
        &lt;lockingModel type="log4net.Appender.FileAppender+MinimalLock" /&gt;
        &lt;layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout"&gt;
          &lt;conversionPattern value="%date [%thread] %-5level %logger [%property{NDC}] - %message%newline" /&gt;
        &lt;/layout&gt;
      &lt;/appender&gt;
  &lt;/log4net&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is this the correct way to log:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ILog logger = LogManager.GetLogger(typeof(CCController));
  logger.Error("Some Page", ex);  // where ex is the exception instance
  </code></pre>
