Configuring log4net with ninject.extensions.logging

[Sean Chambers]

I'm trying to get the logging extension to parse my log4net
configuration. I have it wired up and I am getting log4net instances
via the LoggerFactory in my code, but for some reason log4net isn't
parsing my config section in the web.config. Is there a trick to get
log4net to look at my configuration through the logging extension?

Here is my log4net configuration:

<log4net>

<appender name="RollingLogFileAppender"
type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">
<file value="~/Logs/" />
<appendToFile value="true" />
<datePattern value="yyyyMMdd" />
<rollingStyle value="Date" />
<filter type="log4net.Filter.LevelRangeFilter">
<acceptOnMatch value="true" />
<levelMin value="INFO" />
<levelMax value="FATAL" />
</filter>
<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
<conversionPattern value="%-5p %d %5rms %-22.22c{1}
%-18.18M - %m%n" />
</layout>
</appender>

<root>
<level value="INFO" />
<appender-ref ref="RollingLogFileAppender" />
</root>
</log4net>


Am I missing something extremely simple here? I would figure that
log4net would be able to find that since it's loaded in the
web.config.

Did you call XmlConfigurator.Configure()? I have never done it from a web app, but that is what I do for my normal apps.

I figured that the ninject logging factory was calling that for me.

I thought the same when I first worked with it. There are so many ways to initialize and configure log4net that we left it to the user. he idea is that Ninject will provide all of the instances and the user makes sure that they are working correctly.
