Log4net not registering when deploying my web application

I have a web application that uses log4net to log errors to a log file. It works well when I publish my site via xcopy, but when I create the package installer, log4net doesn't work when remote users access my site.

I am using impersonate = true in my web.config and log4net only logs errors when I am a logged in user.

I have another application that works fine in all cases, but has not been deployed.

Does anyone have any thoughts?

In the end, it was a permission issue setting the write permission for everyone. log4net started logging because it is using the currently logged in user account

I don't think so because the same configuration is used in production application

but here



which user is using log4net when writing to disk ?! Do I need to add write permissions to the log folders? Since I'm using impersonate = true, the user logged into the site is the one log4net uses to write for the correct filesystem ?!

  <!-- log4net -->
