    Upgrading to umbraco 7.6.1 shows log4net error

    Hi umbracians,

    I've recently tried to upgrade my 7.5.10 site to 7.6.1

    When launching the site after copying new files and merging configs, i now get log4net errors.

    The file or the assembly 'log4net, Version = 1.2.11.0, Culture = neutral, PublicKeyToken = null' or one of its dependencies could not be loaded
    

    i says in the docs there are breaking changes to log4net, so no surprise there. But what are the correct steps to make to get it to work?

    What I did:

    1. Copied the new log4net.dll to the site
    2. Updated the web.config with the new log4net assembly binding

    Is this the correct way of doing the upgrade?

    best regards

    Hi Hundebol

    You need to merge web.config with your local, there are few changes, not only new log4net assembly binding. Try to use WinMerge for merging configs.

    Thanks,

    Alex

    Hi Alex,

    Of course i have merged the other changes as well :)

    This is what is shown in the 7.6.1 web.config

      <dependentAssembly>
        <assemblyIdentity name="log4net" publicKeyToken="669e0ddf0bb1aa2a" culture="neutral" />
        <bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-2.0.8.0" newVersion="2.0.8.0"/>
      </dependentAssembly>
    

    There is no such thing in my current web.config

    Well - it worked momentarily. I keep getting errors and in the end the Application Pool stops. So not good.

    Anyone got another fix?
