log4net: No appenders could be found for logger

This is my initial foray into Log4Net for use with my WCF service. Since Log4Net is configuration based, if you do not see anything logged to your destination (in my case it is a database) then you have missed something in your config (that should not be any surprise, my point is to reinforce the reader to double check their config settings). In my particular case I am using the AdoNetAppender. I configured my database, installed and referenced the Log4net dll's and set about to log my first exception. After messing with it for a couple of hours I realized that I was missing the <appender-ref ref="AdoNetAppender" /> key in my config. The exception that was being thrown by Log4Net was

log4net: Logger: No appenders could be found for logger [PSLogger, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null] repository [log4net-default-repository]
log4net: Logger: Please initialize the log4net system properly.
log4net: Logger:    Current AppDomain context information:
log4net: Logger:       BaseDirectory   : C:\$\1.0\PSAuditService\PSAuditService\
log4net: Logger:       FriendlyName    : dbd5742-18-129488220968600299
log4net: Logger:       DynamicDirectory: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Temporary ASP.NET Files\root\ec718ec8\d90fe912

After adding the afore mentioned key all seems to be well.

Hope this helps someone.
