Installed Install-Package Elmah.MVC from Nugate in MVC 5 Code first .
I have been researching for hours to fix this but cannot get it to work. ELMAH does not log errors to the DB. I have went over multiple resources such as the links at the bottom but have had no success. I have the package installed, I have it pointing
to the DB string name ErrorLog, I have the web.config elmah setting set to Elmah.SqlErrorLog, Elmah pointing to the connection string name , but it still errors does not store in db . Any help?
With that said, you config looks fine (I've validated it with this
web.config validator for future help troubleshooting). The problem probably is, that something else is handling exceptions, before ELMAH is invoked. Do you show a custom error page, declare your own HandleError-like attribute, or similar? I recommend you
to read through this: Demystifying ASP.NET MVC 5 Error Pages and Error Logging.

Since you are using the Elmah.MVC NuGet package, you need to follow the guide from that package. Check out https://github.com/alexbeletsky/elmah-mvc for details.
With that said, you config looks fine (I've validated it with this web.config validator for future help troubleshooting). The problem probably is, that something else is handling exceptions, before ELMAH is invoked. Do you show a custom error page, declare your own HandleError-like attribute, or similar?
