    copied!<p>I'm using log4net for the first time, and I can't figure out how to add the appropriate config settings. All the documentation is pretty consistent about adding a <code>&lt;log4net&gt;</code> section to the <em>app.config</em> file, but for it to compile correctly, don't I also need to outline my <code>configSections</code>?</p> <p>I have the following right now:</p> <pre><code>&lt;configuration&gt; &lt;configSections&gt; &lt;section name="system.serviceModel"/&gt; &lt;section name="appSettings" type="System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager"/&gt; &lt;section name="log4net" type="log4net.Config.Log4NetConfigurationSectionHandler, log4net" /&gt; &lt;section name="startup" /&gt; &lt;/configSections&gt; &lt;system.serviceModel&gt; ... &lt;/system.serviceModel&gt; &lt;appSettings&gt; ... &lt;/appSettings&gt; &lt;log4net&gt; ... &lt;/log4net&gt; &lt;startup&gt;&lt;supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.0"/&gt;&lt;/startup&gt; &lt;/configuration&gt; </code></pre> <p>But I'm receiving the following errors:</p> <ul> <li><code>XML document must contain a root level element</code></li> <li><code>The required attribute 'type' is missing</code> (from <code>system.serviceModel</code> and <code>startup</code>)</li> <li><code>Could not find schema information for the element *</code> (*=everything in log4net)</li> </ul> <p>I've read a couple posts on section groups, and I've considered setting up the <code>appSettings</code> and <code>log4net</code> in a separate config file. This is a little over my head. </p> <p>Should I be using separate <em>config</em> files?</p> <p>If I should be putting everything in one <em>config</em> file, how do I know what type a section is? (I'm guessing on the <code>appSettings</code> type based on the assembly I use to get the settings--and I got the type for <code>log4net</code> from the many posts including it.)</p>
