Error Creating Event Source

[Karthik Srinivasan]

Hi,

My web application which runs on Windows 2003 server writes to EventLog
during application startup but I get the following exception

Requested registry access is not allowed.

at Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey.OpenSubKey(String name, Boolean writable)
at System.Diagnostics.EventLog.CreateEventSource(Stri ng source, String
logName, String machineName, Boolean useMutex)
at System.Diagnostics.EventLog.WriteEntry(String message,
EventLogEntryType type, Int32 eventID, Int16 category, Byte[] rawData)
at System.Diagnostics.EventLog.WriteEntry(String message,
EventLogEntryType type, Int32 eventID, Int16 category)
at System.Diagnostics.EventLog.WriteEntry(String message,
EventLogEntryType type, Int32 eventID)
at System.Diagnostics.EventLog.WriteEntry(String message,
EventLogEntryType type)
at VZ.DC.ServicesFactories.DCFactory..ctor()



I created the EventLog Source manually as suggested in this article

still no luck.

Any suggestions to resolve this issue?

Thanks In Advance.

This sounds like a permissions issue with the account your application is
using. You might want to check the registry permission on the new log source
keys and make sure the user/group has read permissions on the keys.

If you are using impersonation on your site, make sure the users also have
access to those keys.

Hope this helps.

Jon
