Elmah on IIS 7

[Rick]

Has anybody got this to work on IIS 7? I've been trying for about a
day now and can't get it to work. I'm getting an IIS 404 error. To get
around this I tried adding a http module definition for elmah in IIS,
this then resulted in a "resource not found" asp.net error. I've read
every message I can find on 404 and resource not found but can't
figure it out. Could someone look at my web.config and/or let me know
if anyone figured out how to run this on IIS7? Thanks!

Hi Rick,

Please see the post I've just made to a previous question along the
same lines:

http://groups.google.com/group/elmah/browse_thread/thread/c678f3120d37f8a6?hl=en

You need to merge the <system.webServer> entries mentioned in that
post in with what you've already got for AJAX.

Hope this helps,

James

James, thanks! I got it to work by removing my entries in the
system.web and putting them under the system.webServer section. I was
a little confused by your post into thinking I needed to remove the
validation line, this caused other problems, so I reverted it back and
everything works now. So just to clarify for anyone else, I only
removed my entries under system.web > httphandlers and httpModules,
then put these entries into the system.webServer > modules and
handlers section. Thanks a ton.

Rick

Hi Rick,

Glad you're sorted!!

Sorry for any confusion!!

Here are the options...

1) if you want your web.config to work in Visual Studio/Cassini,
IIS5x, IIS6 and IIS7 you need to merge the following into your
web.config:

<system.webServer>
<validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false" />
<modules>

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

2) if you only ever want to run in IIS7 (and will never run in Visual
Studio/Cassini, IIS5x, IIS6) then here's what you do:
a) remove all reference to elmah in the httpModules and httpHandlers
sections
b) merge this into web.config

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



NB the big difference between the two is this line in

<system.webServer>

<validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false" />

If it is present, it tells IIS7 to ignore any issues with modules and
handlers being declared in <system.web>

Hope this clarifies things further!

Cheers,

James
