Hello
How can I change the location for the error.log file. I'm trying to autodeploy with NAnt, but can't delete the error.log file in the target directory as it is in use by another process so I want to move it out of the project directory and into c:/logs where all my other log files go.

Thanks

Ryan

Hi Ryan,

You can use ObjectFactory class (represents a static factory class for creating application objects with IUnityContainer )

Inside Application_Start event of Global.asax you can registers types with IoC framework.

You can subscribe for ObjectFactory.Initializing and cancel the event if executing args. command name is ConfigureLogging

ObjectFactory.Initializing += new EventHandler<Telerik.Sitefinity.Data.ExecutingEventArgs>(

delegate(object s, Telerik.Sitefinity.Data.ExecutingEventArgs args)

if (args.CommandName == "ConfigureLogging")

args.Cancel = true;

var errorFileName = HostingEnvironment.MapPath("mypath");

);

Thanks Ivan - is there a particular namespace I need to import to get that code working?

Hi Ryan,

You should be add all need namespaces using Visual Studio Intellisense. Can you subscribe for Initializing event? We added it recently and I think that could be not included in your build, but it would be added for sure in the Friday's build.

Yes, it's the Initializing event that isn't appearing in Intellisense. I'll check out the weekly build.

Thanks again
Ryan

Try

Telerik.Sitefinity.Abstractions.Bootstrapper.Initializing

Hi I also want to change the location of the error.log to a folder under C:\ . I use the following like you described,

ObjectFactory.Initializing += new EventHandler<Telerik.Sitefinity.Data.ExecutingEventArgs>(

delegate(object s, Telerik.Sitefinity.Data.ExecutingEventArgs args)

if (args.CommandName == "ConfigureLogging")

args.Cancel = true;

var errorFileName = HostingEnvironment.MapPath("mypath");

);

However, it is not working, If I want to move to folder "C:\SitefinityLog\" then I should use "var errorFileName = HostingEnvironment.MapPath(@"C:\SitefinityLog\")" ?
