ELMAH installed on PD

This morning (at approximately 3am :) I installed ELMAH on the ProjectDistributor application. ELMAH is an HttpModule and an HttpHandler which combine to capture and provide global reporting of exceptions which are occurring in your web applications. The whole excercise took me a mere 10 minutes to:

• Download the files
• Copy ELMAH.dll to my webserver
• Run the sql scripts to create tables and sprocs to store the logging information
• Wire up the handler and module in web.config

Totally painless. Now, I won't have repeats of last weeks farce where users of the application were confronted with the "Yellow and White screen of death" when attempting to provide input via the site's Feedback form.

You can grab ELMAH from here:

There's also an accompanying article on Msdn which delves into implementation details and describes the entire process.  If you are planning to use ELMAH (and you should) then I highly recommend reading it:
