Question

So I have a situation where locally, Elmah is working correctly. When I generate exceptions, Elmah is correctly logging them.

However, after deploying the system out to my GoDaddy system, Elmah doesn’t seem to work. I can load the Elmah.axd site correctly with no errors (it shows nothing though), but when I trigger exceptions, no error xml files are actually logged. How can I go about debugging this, since Elmah doesn’t seem to be throwing any exceptions?

For reference, my Elmah config is:

  <elmah>
    <security allowRemoteAccess="true" />
    <errorLog type="Elmah.XmlFileErrorLog, Elmah" logPath="~/App_Data" />
  </elmah>

Answer 1

Did you check the permissions on appdata folder…it needs to have read and write permission…
i would create a separate folder instead of using appdata. Assign the user account to that folder with full permission.
