Log4Net not working when using configuration file

Question

I would like to use log4net in my current project.
So I started to read examples from the official documentation and first played a bit with the BasicConfigurator but the next step is to switch to a configuration file instead of hardcoding everything.
I created a XML file called MyApp.log4net containing:

<log4net>
    <appender name="A1" type="log4net.Appender.ConsoleAppender">
        <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
            <conversionPattern value="%date [%thread] %-5level %logger %ndc - %message%newline" />
        </layout>
    </appender>

    <root>
        <level value="DEBUG" />
        <appender-ref ref="A1" />
    </root>
</log4net>

The config file is located in AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory.

Next I added

[assembly: XmlConfigurator(ConfigFile = "MyApp.log4net", Watch = true)]
namespace Awesome.Server
{
    class Program
    {
        ...

to the Program class which is located in the same directory as MyApp.log4net.
If I now try to log someting e.g. using...

LogManager.GetLogger(typeof(Program)).Info("Hello World");

...then nothing happens. No error, no message, nothing.
Is there anything I forgot/misunderstood about how this works that would fix this?

Answer 1

You specified the configuration file's name to be "Awesome.Server.log4net":

[assembly: XmlConfigurator(ConfigFile = "Awesome.Server.log4net", Watch = true)]
namespace Awesome.Server {
    ...
}

Either fix your config file name or change the assembly attribute property ConfigFile.
