Error Logging with Elmah

Apr 08, 2011 11:19 PM|bhanu2217|LINK

I am using Elmah for error logging, which works fine on the local system but on Live site it doesn't work.

In my web.config

<customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="error.aspx">
      <error statusCode="404" redirect="~/error404.aspx"/>
    </customErrors>

So whenever error occurs the control goes to error.aspx page and elmah is unable to record the error.

Let me know how i can redirect to error.aspx page as well as log the error

And what type of logging did you choose? XmlFileErrorLog? Check permissions on the folder where you supposed to save log files. Check if dll for elmah has been copied to \bin, check again web.config configuration.

I have choosen error file log as well as e-mail

<add name="ErrorLog" type="Elmah.ErrorLogModule, Elmah" />
<add name="ErrorMail" type="Elmah.ErrorMailModule, Elmah" />

None of them work on the live server but they both work fine on local system. Also checked the file permisison, it has full acess for log folder.

elmah dll is there in the bin folder

For IIS7 in integration mode you need to add

<system.webServer>
        <modules>
            <add name="ErrorLog" type="Elmah.ErrorLogModule, Elmah" preCondition="managedHandler" />
            <add name="ErrorFilter" type="Elmah.ErrorFilterModule, Elmah" preCondition="managedHandler" />
            <add name="ErrorMail" type="Elmah.ErrorMailModule, Elmah" preCondition="managedHandler" />
            <add name="ErrorTweet" type="Elmah.ErrorTweetModule, Elmah" preCondition="managedHandler" />
        </modules>
        <handlers>
            <add name="Elmah" path="elmah.axd" verb="POST,GET,HEAD" type="Elmah.ErrorLogPageFactory, Elmah" preCondition="integratedMode" />
        </handlers>
    </system.webServer>

See ELMAH documentation for more details.
