Encountered one more error!

I recently encountered one more error and was able to resolve soon with the help of one of my colleague.

For those who reading this blog, I have no intention to keep posting errors I encountered, but after all this is a blog which is only intended to have issues encountered in my work life 🙂

However I still feel, my posts may help someone who encounters the same error. Hence with this dual things in my mind I continue to post these errors.

Ok now, I was trying to execute a mobile web application, with IIS6 and .net framework 1.1, and I got the following error.

As you can see from the screenshot, application was trying to write to Event Log. From the exception you can grasp that it is a permission issue while reading a registry key.

Following are the steps to resolve this Event Log Permission error:

1. Open registry editor.

2. Drill-down to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Eventlog.

3. Right-click on Eventlog and click permissions.

4. Add Local machine\users to the list and give full control permissions and click OK.

5. Then drill-down to next level in Eventlog\Security.

6. Right-click on Security and click permissions.

7. Add Local machine\users to the list and give full control permissions and click OK.

That’s it! This error is gone!

PS: Having said that if these steps does not resolve the issue, you can also try changing the authentication from network to System Account in IIS.
