Description

When separating Log4Net configuration in an external configuration file situated in separated base directory, i tried to specify the path of the file by using Environment variables :

<log4net configSource="${CONFIG_BASE}\config\log4net.config" />
where CONFIG_BASE is the key of an environment variable i got the following errors:

log4net:ERROR Failed to parse config file. Is the <configSections> specified as: <section name="log4net" type="log4net.Config.Log4NetConfigurationSectionHandler,log4net, Version=1.2.15.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=669e0ddf0bb1aa2a" />
