Elmah Error Missing assembly and cannot load file.

[chobo3]

Hi

I am trying to install phpbb forum on my hosted site. So my hosting
plan has like a one click installer to make it easier to install. So I
went through the steps of it, One was making a virtual directory and
the other was making a mysql database.

My hosted site is in asp.net-mvc and is in the wwwrooot and the phpbb
is in a subdirectory called Forum.

I am also using ELMAH for my error logging and it works find however
when I try to go to my phpBB board it crashes with this error. If I
remove all my ELMAH stuff from my webconfig it works. So I am thinking
it does not want to play with php nicely so I am not sure how to make
it play together. Like I don't need error logging for the phpBB since
I did not make it. So I am not sure if there is a way to tell it to do
only asp.net mvc pages.

Here is the error

Server Error in '/Fourm' Application.

I believe the registered HTTP modules are being inherited from your root web.config and bleeding through to the Forum folder setup underneath it. My guess is that IIS is seeing phpbb as a separate application and looking for ELMAH in a bin directory, as in phpbb/bin, while trying to load one of its modules. If that's true then what could help is to add a web.config to your Forum folder that uses <clear/> or <remove ... /> elements in the section for modules to prevent the configuration inheritance of ELMAH's modules.
