getting File or directory not found for elmah.axd

[wrighty]

HI

I have added ELMAH to a test site which is a sub domain - I have
followed all the instructions but when I try to navigate to elmah.axd
I get:

404 - File or directory not found.
The resource you are looking for might have been removed, had its name
changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

It all worked locally - so I am wondering if it is because I have put
this in a sub domain. Any ideas??

thanks

So far, no one has ever reported any issues with running ELMAH in a sub-domain. There shouldn't be any special requirement for doing so. I suspect that it's a configuration (either an IIS or web.config) issue.

Thanks - I have tried playing around with the web.config - and now get
a 403 - Forbidden: Access is denied

Not sure if I have something wrong in my web.comfig or something on
IIS - can someone just confirm my web.config is correct?

My site is hosted on IIS6 - so in my web.config I have:

Hi there!

Looks like an ELMAH + MVC issue.
Take a look at these posts and see if they help!

Yeah it is MVC, I have got the errors logging in SQL server ok, but
just get the error when trying to view the axd file.

In that case, have you tried adding the following to your routes collection?

routes.IgnoreRoute("elmah.axd");

The trouble is, you need to bypass MVC routing for the path registered for ELMAH. See here for more:

[wrighty]

Yeah thanks - I have that in the global.asax

I tried changing the elmah.axd to elmah.aspx in the web config, added
elmah.aspx to ignore route in the global.

Still does not work - it works fine locally just not in the test sub
domain of the live site.

Finally got it working - had to add

<security allowRemoteAccess="1" />

to the elmah section.

phew.

thanks
