what part of web.config do i insert the elmah tag?

asp.net, elmah, web-config

Solution

You need to add the section group. Something like this:

<sectionGroup name="elmah">
  <section name="errorLog" requirePermission="false" type="Elmah.ErrorLogSectionHandler, Elmah" />
</sectionGroup>

Then you can add the elmah section anywhere inside the "configuration" tag (not inside any other tag).

Problem

I want to write this ``` <elmah> <errorlog type="Elmah.XmlFilerErrorLog, Elmah" logPath="~/App_Data" /> </elmah> ``` or ``` <elmah> <errorLog type="Elmah.SQLiteErrorLog, Elmah" logPath="~/App_Data" /> </elmah> ``` however every place i tried putting this tag in i get an `Unrecognized configuration section elmah.` error. I found this question Configuring ELMAH: Unrecognized config section error however i tried that (solution at the bottom of the question) and still get the error. Where do i put this? -edit- i found the issue. I didnt set `<sectionGroup name="elmah">` properly. I couldnt find it online then remembered the demo had sqlite logging and i checked the demo config for clues.
