How configure log4net for a c# Windows service

I have a windows service where the app.config file and the log4net.config files are seperate. The logging is not working.

In my app.config file, I have the following in the section:

<add key="log4net.Config" value="log4net.config"/>

This works if in the value I specify an absolute path to the log4net.config file.

Do I need to supply an absolute path to the log4net.cong? Both the log4net.config and app.config file are in the same folder as the executable.

any ideas?
