Windows Event Log and ASP.NET

[Patten, Stephen]

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.    at Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey.OpenSubKey(String name, Boolean writable)    at System.Diagnostics.EventLog.FindSourceRegistration(String source, String machineName, Boolean readOnly)    at System.Diagnostics.EventLog.SourceExists(String source, String machineName)    at System.Diagnostics.EventLog.SourceExists(String source)    at log4net.Appender.EventLogAppender.ActivateOptions()    at log4net.Repository.Hierarchy.XmlHierarchyConfigurator.ParseAppender(XmlElement appenderElement) log4net:ERROR XmlHierarchyConfigurator: Appender named [TEST] not found.             Many thanks to the person who can answer this.     Stephen         Stephen Patten Shared Services Technical Manager Impac Funding Corporation 949-274-1141 (Cell) 949-260-4533 (Work) 949-706-6329 (Fax)
