Re: Event log access problem with ASP.NET

Hi, 

so can you show us the exception details with full stack trace?

As I stated before this is NOT the problem. The Event source already
exists. It is NOT - repeat NOT - a registry permission problem

Hi,
as stated before - the asp.net worker process does not have the
required
rights for the registry key
you have two options:

a) change the ACL
b) pre-create the EventSource using a console helper that is run by
an
admin - ASP.NET will be able to use the event log afterwards

Does anybody  have any real solutions to this problem?

We're using the Application block for publishing exceptions from
our web site using the default publisher which writes to the event
log. This works fine on XP and on one of our dev. machines running
Windows 2003. However we now have a problem on a test machine with
Windows 2003 where we get a security exception because the process
doesn't have access to the event log. The only difference I know of
is that the test machine has Windows 2003 SP1. On both W2003
machines IIS6 is running under the default account which supposedly
has access to the event log resource.

Has anyone any ideas of how to solve this? Is it due to a change in
the O/S service pack?

(We are using .NET 1.1)
