Just got an email asking about how to install ELMAH on BlogEngine.NET 2.0:

I am trying to use Elmah with BE 2.0.0.40
Keep getting web.config errors one after the other.
Are you currently using it? Could you provide me a web.config for BlogEngine

Come on guys! Installing ELMAH by hand? It’s so 2010!

If you don’t have NuGet package manager installed yet, do yourself a favor
Open BlogEngine in Visual Studio, right-click web site in the project explorer and select “Add Library Package Reference..”
Find ELMAH in the NuGet feed and click “Install”. You done.

I&amp;amp;amp;amp;#39;m a little confused... why are you trying to access elmah.axd under admin? It lives under site&amp;amp;amp;amp;#39;s root just as on the picture above.

This is an error that users who not logged in as admin supposed to see. So you can go to admin panel and edit settings etc. but when you try request elmah.axd it gives you &amp;amp;amp;amp;quot;forbidden&amp;amp;amp;amp;quot;? That is very strange. Did you try it locally, just to make sure it is related to your hosting environment? Sometimes host can block specific type of requests or has modules/handlers that mess up intercepting request before it gets to right handler, I&amp;amp;amp;amp;#39;ve just ran into similar with WCF services wrongly handled by WebDev module.

Locally it works fine. Just when its on a live server is where it have problems.

I access elmah through the admin panel and I can access everything but elmah and admin folders.

What settings on server should I change?

Needed:

&amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;elmah&amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;

        &amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;security allowRemoteAccess=&amp;amp;amp;amp;quot;1&amp;amp;amp;amp;quot; /&amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;

        &amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;errorLog type=&amp;amp;amp;amp;quot;Elmah.XmlFileErrorLog, Elmah&amp;amp;amp;amp;quot; logPath=&amp;amp;amp;amp;quot;~/app_data/elmah&amp;amp;amp;amp;quot; /&amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;

    &amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/elmah&amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;

Ben figure it out:
