Dominik Psenner commented on LOG4NET-496: ----------------------------------------- I thought a little bit about this and what I am wondering about is why you are using a rolling file appender in a cloud scenario. If I do not know on which machine my code executes, a file appender is the wrong appender for this usecase, isn't it? > RollingFileAppender.ActivateOptions throws UnauthorizedAccessException > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LOG4NET-496 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4NET-496 > Project: Log4net > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 1.2.14 > Reporter: Fabian Pachner > > We upgraded our Azure cloud service project from log4net 1.2.13 to 1.2.14 and > received the following exception when the web roles are starting up: > {code} > System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path > 'C__Resources_directory_9b9a1e064b78414281c81f861d0634b0.Role.Web.Frontend.DiagnosticStore_LogFiles_UI_UI_0' > is denied. > at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath) > at System.Threading.Mutex.MutexTryCodeHelper.MutexTryCode(Object userData) > at > System.Runtime.CompilerServices.RuntimeHelpers.ExecuteCodeWithGuaranteedCleanup(TryCode > code, CleanupCode backoutCode, Object userData) > at System.Threading.Mutex.CreateMutexWithGuaranteedCleanup(Boolean > initiallyOwned, String name, Boolean& createdNew, SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES > secAttrs) > at System.Threading.Mutex..ctor(Boolean initiallyOwned, String name, > Boolean& createdNew, MutexSecurity mutexSecurity) > at System.Threading.Mutex..ctor(Boolean initiallyOwned, String name, > Boolean& createdNew) > at log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender.ActivateOptions() > at Base.Logging.AzureFileLogAppender.ActivateOptions() in > j:\Source\Commons\Logging\AzureFileLogAppender.cs:line 95 > at > log4net.Repository.Hierarchy.XmlHierarchyConfigurator.ParseAppender(XmlElement > appenderElement) > {code} > This affects the w3wp process of the web role. A consequence of this is that > file logging isn't working for that process. We didn't have that exception > with log4net 1.2.13 and recognized there was a change in 1.2.14 in > RollingFileAppender.ActivateOptions: A mutex is created there and that seems > to lead to the mentioned exception. > Can you tell us whether it is likely that this issue was already fixed with > 1.2.15? And if so, when will this version be available via Nuget package? > Thank you! -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
