Bug #68543 [Opn->Nab]: syslog adds description for Event ID x from source y cannot be found

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=68543&edit=1 ID: 68543 Updated by: ab@php.net Reported by: php at sanexeh dot nl Summary: syslog adds description for Event ID x from source y cannot be found -Status: Open +Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: IIS related Operating System: Windows 2012 R2 PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: The solution lays unfortunately not in PHP. The app has to be registered with windows. A reg file can be generated automatically when compiling from source and doing "nmake install". But for a zipball this has to be done manually, a template is here http://lxr.php.net/xref/PHP_5_5/win32/syslog.reg . The reason why it can't be done automatically is that the access to that registry key cannot be guaranteed. That's what also Wez mentioned in his comment in bug #8314. Thanks.

Those are about Windows 2000.

Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.
