Windows Event Log and ASP.NET

["Patten, Stephen" <St...@impaccompanies.com>]

All,

 

I can't seem to find the right information on this one. 

 

 

First off here my web.config entry for 1.2.9

 

            <log4net>

                  <appender name="TEST"
type="log4net.Appender.EventLogAppender" >

                        <logName value="TEST2" />

                        <applicationName value="TEST3" />

                        <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">

                              <conversionPattern
value="%d{yyyMMdd:HHmmss.fffff} [%t] %-5p %c %x - %m%n" />

                        </layout>

                        <mapping>

                              <level value="DEBUG" />

                              <eventLogEntryType value="Information" />

                        </mapping>

                  </appender>

                  <root>

                        <level value="ALL" />         

                        <appender-ref ref="TEST" />

                  </root>

            </log4net>

 

I've gone into my local registry and created the key/sink to support
this under the application log. Basically, what is it going to take to
get this to work without giving special permission to aspnet? Here is
the infamous error message:

 

log4net:ERROR XmlHierarchyConfigurator: Could not create Appender [TEST]
of type [log4net.Appender.EventLogAppender]. Reported error follows.

System.Security.SecurityException: Requested registry access is not
allowed.

Many thanks to the person who can answer this.
