Access to the path 'LogBufferMutex' is denied.

Windows Phone/.NET

When I call BackendlessAPI.Backendless.InitApp in .NET client I get a System.UnauthorizedAccessException with the following message:
Access to the path ‘LogBufferMutex’ is denied.
This only happens in my Dev environment and not when I run the code locally. What may be the reason?

Hello, Kateryna!

Can you provide a code snippet where you get this issue and attach the stacktrace?
Thank you!

the code snippet is:


BackendlessAPI.Backendless.InitApp(config.ApplicationId, config.SecretKey, config.Version);

Stack trace is:

Thank you!

I’ve created an internal ticket for this issue. Its id is “BKNDLSS-13371”. We shall investigate it and response you in this topic.

I have more information for you about the issue. We are not using Windows Phone, but rather we have two back-end programs that make calls to Backendless services using .NET SDK:

  1. WebAPI services
  2. Windows Service
    When both run on the same machine, I get the error. Once I stopped one of them, the second started working.

I know this is not a common scenario, but we use windows service for long running tasks, so we bypass the execution time limitation of 5 or 20 seconds for backendless scripts. And we want to have the single role management service, so we authenticate our WebApis through Backendless.
