[sszost]

not sure if question or bug. mvc application fails to start on linux when NLog is enabled.

systemd output:

ubuntu systemd[1]: test.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
ubuntu systemd[1]: test.service: Unit entered failed state.
ubuntu systemd[1]: test.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=35/n/a

Think it is duplicate of this https://github.com/NLog/NLog.Web/issues/210, that will be fixed with https://github.com/NLog/NLog.Web/issues/242.

But there are some few hurdles before we are there:

• Have to release NLog ver. 4.5.0-rc05
• Have to release NLog.Extensions.Logging ver. 1.0.0-rtm-rc7 (Updated to use NLog 4.5.0-rc05 and apply this PR: https://github.com/NLog/NLog.Extensions.Logging/pull/195)
• Have to release NLog.Web.AspNetCore ver. 4.5.0-rc3 (Updated to use NLog.Extensions.Logging ver. 1.0.0-rtm-rc7 and apply this PR: https://github.com/NLog/NLog.Web/pull/245)

thank you!

setting this in Main solved my problem:
