log4net doesn't work in asp.net mvc5 project - log4net

I followed the steps in the following link adding log4net to your mvc project, but it doesn't work, can someone help me?
Update: I build a asp.net mvc5 project, follow the steps of above link. at last I find nothing in SqlServer table. Am I missing something? does anyone know?

Despite lacking details about how you've configured log4net, you can enable internal logging to help determine where your problem lies.
Add this appSetting to your web.config
<add key="log4net.Internal.Debug" value="true"/>
Add this trace listener, also to your web.config
<system.diagnostics>
<trace autoflush="true">
<listeners>
<add
name="textWriterTraceListener"
type="System.Diagnostics.TextWriterTraceListener"
initializeData="C:\tmp\log4net.log" />
</listeners>
</trace>
</system.diagnostics>
This will log the internal log4net operations to c:\tmp\log4net.log. Inspect that log file to help determine where your problem lies.

.NET CORE 3.1 on Azure Web Sites: 500.37 ANCM Failed to Start Within Startup Time Limit

I have .NET Core 3.1 API which is deployed in Azure web application service. I had trouble running the application in Azure because of the error 500.37 ANCM Failed to Start Within Startup Time Limit. I managed to solve this issue by increasing startupTimeLimit in web.config (as you can see below).
But Now, when I'm running 2 instances in Azure web app service. One of the instances works just fine but the other one still has the same error.
Any ideas on how How to set startupTimeLimit for multiple instances in IIS?
web.config
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<!-- To customize the asp.net core module uncomment and edit the following section.
For more info see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=838655 -->
<system.webServer>
<httpProtocol>
<customHeaders>
<remove name="X-Powered-By" />
</customHeaders>
</httpProtocol>
<handlers>
<add name="aspNetCore" path="*" verb="*" modules="AspNetCoreModuleV2" resourceType="Unspecified" />
</handlers>
<aspNetCore processPath="dotnet" arguments=".\Clients.Api.dll" stdoutLogEnabled="false" stdoutLogFile=".\logs\stdout" startupTimeLimit="180" hostingModel="inprocess" >
</aspNetCore>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
Edit:
I used azure web app Scale out (App Service plan) to increase the running instance to 2.
We solved this solution by increasing the startupTimeLimit to 300
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration xmlns:xdt="http://schemas.microsoft.com/XML-Document-Transform">
<location>
<system.webServer>
<aspNetCore xdt:Transform="SetAttributes(startupTimeLimit)" startupTimeLimit="300">
</aspNetCore>
</system.webServer>
</location>
</configuration>
Finally I was able to fix this error.
It is a configuration error (.net core configuration). Azure App Services need an additional configuration of the project when it is in .net core 3.1.
The solution is:
In project file (asp.net or web api project) (*.proj) you have to place the following line just below TargetFramework:
<AspNetCoreHostingModel>OutOfProcess</AspNetCoreHostingModel>
Final *.proj file would be something like this :
<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web"> <PropertyGroup>
<TargetFramework>netcoreapp3.1</TargetFramework>
<AspNetCoreHostingModel>OutOfProcess</AspNetCoreHostingModel>
<UserSecretsId>my-secrets-go-here</UserSecretsId>
<Version>1.1.0.0</Version>
<Authors>me</Authors>
<Company>TheCompany</Company>
<Platforms>AnyCPU;x64</Platforms>
</PropertyGroup>
...
</Project>
And that's it. After adding those changes and uploading a new version on your Azure App Service the application is going to be executed without errors (unless there's something else related to your code).
I was able to replicate this error by executing my project directly on IIS from my local, when you do that VS opens the web browser but the web page is never loaded.
Started getting this error when running my .net core 3.1 application on production. The error occurs immediately after updating the application. However, for me, running iisreset on cmd was enough to solve the error.
if application work perfect on development machine and this error exist on your production server that is not connected to internet
check event log and find if you have any error like this:
Failed extract of third-party root list from auto update cab at
you need just update server certificates

Turn Glimpse off completely

I am interested in being able to turn Glimpse off completely in the lightest weight way that I can manage. Between the glimpse documentat and the response to this question How to disable Glimpse, the difference between turning Glimpse.axd off and defaultRuntimePolicy="Off" the strongest "off" functionality I can see is setting the defaultRuntimePolicy to off in the web.config file.
However, this still loads a number of glimpse assemblies into my process as shown in the debugger - the answer to this question Why is Glimpse still running? sheds some light on why.
So what I've been doing is keeping around a GlimpseOff shelveset that comments out the glimpse configuration in my web.config file and also comments out the references in my .csproj file. And applying it when I really need glimpse turned off. This works, and I'm pretty sure it really does turn everything off fully, but it is pretty cumbersome.
The alternatives I've considered are (a) removing the glimpse nuget pacakges when I need to turn it off, which is even more cumbersome than my current solution or (b) creating a new build configuration in visual studio which doesn't include the glimpse modules and preforms a web.config transform to remove the configuration.
Neither of these seem optimal. Anyone have a better/cleaner/easier way to do this?
You could use an XML transform to remove the Glimpse entries in Release mode/production.
Adding these entries to web.release.config:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration xmlns:xdt="http://schemas.microsoft.com/XML-Document-Transform">
<configSections>
<section name="glimpse" xdt:Transform="Remove" />
</configSections>
<glimpse xdt:Transform="Remove"/>
<system.web>
<httpModules>
<add name="Glimpse" xdt:Transform="Remove"/>
</httpModules>
<httpHandlers>
<add path="glimpse.axd" xdt:Transform="Remove" />
</httpHandlers>
</system.web>
<system.webServer>
<modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true">
<add name="Glimpse" xdt:Transform="Remove" />
</modules>
<handlers>
<add name="Glimpse" xdt:Transform="Remove" />
</handlers>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
If you'd like, you can input this transform and your web.config into the Web Config Transform Tester to make sure it works for your app.

web.config causing problems with iis

Up until now I have only worked with this web.config within Visual Studio. However I am now trying to publish my website to IIS and there are errors associated with my web.config. It seems that it crashes on configuration data for a module.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
<system.web>
<compilation targetFramework="4.5" />
<httpRuntime targetFramework="4.5" />
</system.web>
<phpNet>
<classLibrary>
<add assembly="php_mcrypt.mng, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=4ef6ed87c53048a3" section="mcrypt" />
<add assembly="php_curl.mng, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=4ef6ed87c53048a3" section="curl" />
</classLibrary>
<scriptLibrary/>
</phpNet>
</configuration>
error:
This screenshot is when trying to double click on any "Feature" within the "Feature View" of IIS. However if i just hit the website via a browser the error is the same:
The configuration section 'phpNet' cannot be read because it is
missing a section declaration
phpNet is for Phalanger, and the extension should be installed but I do not know how to check that. Like I said though, this web.config and phalanger worked fine within visual studio so Im not sure whats wrong. Especially since the installer did install the samples in iis.
You are missing configuration section definition
<configSections>
<section name="phpNet" type="PHP.Core.ConfigurationSectionHandler, PhpNetCore, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=0a8e8c4c76728c71" />
Without this, .NET does not know the 'phpNet' configuration section.
Also this means, you don't have Phalanger installed using setup.exe. Here are some information about using Phalanger without proper installation (important is the part about configuration) http://www.php-compiler.net/blog/2011/installation-free-phalanger-web
I found this posting http://crdevelopment.net/2012/06/12/fixing-iis-error-the-configuration-section-system-web-extensions-cannot-be-read-because-it-is-missing-a-section-declaration/
which led me to check the application pools.
At which point I noticed there where multiples. I selected the phalangerAppPool and that got rid of my error, but brought about a new one.
Handler “PageHandlerFactory-Integrated” has a bad module
“ManagedPipelineHandler” in its module list
However that error was alot easier to resolve (fix)

iis 7 + http custom handler error: could not load file or assembly The system cannot find the file specified

Windows vista 32 bit - C# - .NET 4 - sqlite - IIS 7
I'm building a small project that contains is a custom HTTP handler where an user can request a XML file and the project will generate the file and send it to the user. It should be flexible enough to send something else too like e.g. json.
Everything was going well until I had to deploy the handler. I've created a library (dll) file which contains the logic for serving of the requested information. I've open IIS manager and I've created a virtual directory to the debug bin file (later on i made it an application. it did not make a difference).
I've followed countless examples and tutorials like these ones:
I started with this one: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308001
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb515343.aspx
msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/46c5ddfy.aspx
But with no luck. As you could have read I'm not using any asp.net website even though I do have a web.config that I've added to the bin folder and it looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<httpErrors errorMode="Detailed" />
<asp scriptErrorSentToBrowser="true" />
<directoryBrowse enabled="false" />
<handlers accessPolicy="Read, Script, Execute">
<add name="LigoManagedHandler" path="*" verb="*" type="Ligo.Service, Ligo" resourceType="Unspecified" preCondition="integratedMode" />
</handlers>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
When I try to run handler in the browser get the following error:
Could not load file or assembly 'Ligo' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
Exception Details: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Ligo' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
I have tried so many possible combination in IIS manager to get it working ('httphandlers', 'classic mode' and so on ...) but i'm truly stuck. The information I've found on the internet is not helping much.
What am I doing wrong or missing to make it work?
Something in this rant triggered an idea, an I stumbled on the answer.
The line in all those tutorials that say put type="ClassName, AssemblyName" into the Handlers section in Web.Config are plain WRONG.
All I did was change this to type="AssemblyName.ClassName" and everything started working, in both a Web Site Project and a Web Application Project that I had created.
I'm running IIS 7.5 in integrated mode so YMMV.

I figure it out. I had to make a asp.net website project and add my dll as reference to this project.
I read this thread that provided this information which is not clear on the internet.
http://forums.asp.net/t/1088861.aspx/1?What+causes+the+quot+Could+not+load+type+quot+problem+
It should state that it is not possible to make the httphandler without a aspnet website project. or am i mistaken? the example on the internet are incorrect! or provide too little information.
I know, this is an old thread. However, I've been looking for an answer for a few days without finding a clear one. So, in case anyone comes across similar scenario.
You can create custom Http Handler as a stand-alone Class Library project and use it in IIS.
On IIS Add new Application with ASP4 Integrated mode. Place your compiled DLL into bin folder (this is what i was missing all along). Seems obvious that it should be there; took some time to figure this out. :)
web.config:
<configuration>
<system.web>
<compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.0" />
</system.web>
<system.webServer>
<handlers>
<add verb="*" path="*.ogg" name="test" type="Namespace.Classname"/>
</handlers>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
Hope this helps.
Cheers.

CruiseControl.Net on Windows Server 2003 x64

I'm having an issue with CruiseControl.net where the web dashboard just won't work in IIS. I have tried switching ASP.Net between 64 and 32 bit modes and reinstalling cruise control, but nothing seems to work. Has anyone else had issues with CruiseControl.Net on 64 bit platforms?
Cheers,
Jamie
[Edit]
Thought I should clarify, I am getting a 404 error when I try access the website. I am using the correct address because it asks for authentication. The .aspx handler is working because I don't see the default.aspx page from the ccnet directory.
[Edit2]
I am using the default web.config that comes with ccnet, but here it is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

It seems I needed to enable Web Service Extensions for ASP.Net. I'm still not getting an ASP.Net tab in the cruise control website properties, but it is working.
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727> or C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727> for 64 bit
Type aspnet_regiis.exe – i
ASP.NET will register itself and show up in Web Service Extensions
Clarify a bit, does the web-dashboard function incorrectly? Does it not show up at all?
The webdashboard uses Nvelocity, not ASP.NET WebForms, so you have to register a custom HTTPHandler in the Web.config for it to work.
<add verb="*" path="*.aspx" type="ThoughtWorks.CruiseControl.WebDashboard.MVC.ASPNET.HttpHandler,ThoughtWorks.CruiseControl.WebDashboard"/>
Post up your web.config.
Since you just want to know whether it works... it does.
I'm running it on a 64-bit Windows Server 2008 without a problem.
So now we've established it works, perhaps you can describe your issue in more detail?
Could not comment, I wanted to add this to the aswer to Adam:
I had to use this command in CMD for Win2008 x64
"C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\aspnet_regiis.exe" -s "W3SVC/1/ROOT/ccnet"
