As AppDomains are completely isolated from each other, it needs some IPC mechanism for this. A common solution on windows is to create a named Mutex or a named Event as named objects are visible across multiple processes on a machine. -Erich

This seems to work just fine until I do some changes in the source. Since asp.net runs as a shadow copy, changes will be compiled on the next request after the change was made. I guess this causes the log manager to duplicate itself, and the second one will not have write access to the log files. Since the old app domain will not die before all the requests are completed, the new log manager must wait for this pool to die before enabling the appenders. An alternative solution can be that the log manager retries to create the appenders if it fails. Maybe it already exist a solution for this problem? Best regards, Morten Andersen
