My ASP.NET MVC application is within a folder called Stuff within IIS 6.0 webroot folder. So I access my pages as http://localhost/Stuff/Posts. I had EMLAH working while I was using the in-built webserver of Visual Studio. Now when I access http://localhost/Stuff/elmah.axd, I get resource not found error. Can anyone point my mistake here! Here is config file entry,

<add verb="POST,GET,HEAD" path="elmah.axd" type="Elmah.ErrorLogPageFactory, Elmah"/> //Handler
  <add name="ErrorMail" type="Elmah.ErrorMailModule, Elmah"/>
  <add name="ErrorLog" type="Elmah.ErrorLogModule, Elmah"/>
  <add name="ErrorFilter" type="Elmah.ErrorFilterModule, Elmah"/> //Module

Working with IIS7 I found I needed both sections of the web.config populated (system.web AND system.webServer) - see Elmah not working with asp.net site.

Perhaps this is related.
