WCF Tracing not working in IIS 6.0

How do I make tracing work in IIS 6.0 ?, The same works fine with IIS 5.1 but not in IIS 6.0. I have tried giving permissions to ASPNET user and also enabled write permissions in the virtual directory.

Below is the code snippet from web.config

<system.diagnostics>
<sources>
  <source name="System.ServiceModel"
          switchValue="Information, ActivityTracing"
          propagateActivity="true">
    <listeners>
      <add name="traceListener"
          type="System.Diagnostics.XmlWriterTraceListener"
          initializeData="c:\log\Traces.svclog"  />
    </listeners>
  </source>
</sources>
</system.diagnostics>

 <system.serviceModel>
 <diagnostics performanceCounters="All" />

Make sure the log folder name c:\log\ exists. If not it does not put any trace files.

Not sure whats the logic behind not creating folders automatically ?

There are a few things that you could try:

  • Are you sure that it is the ASPNet user that is being used. Check the identity of the app pool and the impersonate=false
  • You may need "modify" not just "write"
  • You may need to restart the machine after the rights have changed
