Erik Källén created LOG4NET-560: ----------------------------------- Summary: UnauthorizedAccessException in RollingFileAppender when acquiring a mutex Key: LOG4NET-560 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4NET-560 Project: Log4net Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Erik Källén
I have a setup where I want two processes, running as different user accounts to log to the same file. I have set up the file permissions so they work, but the second process that starts cannot perform the logging due to this error: log4net:ERROR Could not create Appender [myAppender] of type [log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender]. Reported error follows. System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'E__Log_MyLog.log' 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) at log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender.ActivateOptions() at log4net.Repository.Hierarchy.XmlHierarchyConfigurator.ParseAppender(XmlElement appenderElement) I think the mutex should be created with access for Everyone, and that would solve the problem. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
