Just for reference because it just too long looking for this information on how to install ELMAH on IIS to troubleshoot a failling application.

Download ELMAH using Nuget:

nuget install elmah

Copy elmah.dll to the bin folder of your application.

Add the following to the same sections in your web.config

<system.web>
       <httpHandlers>
              <add verb="POST,GET,HEAD" path="elmah.axd" type="Elmah.ErrorLogPageFactory, Elmah" />
       </httpHandlers>
       <httpModules>
              <add name="ErrorLog" type="Elmah.ErrorLogModule, Elmah"/>
              <add name="ErrorMail" type="Elmah.ErrorMailModule, Elmah" />
              <add name="ErrorFilter" type="Elmah.ErrorFilterModule, Elmah" />
       </httpModules>
</system.web>
<system.webServer>
       <modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true">
              <add name="ErrorLog" type="Elmah.ErrorLogModule, Elmah"/>
              <add name="ErrorMail" type="Elmah.ErrorMailModule, Elmah" />
              <add name="ErrorFilter" type="Elmah.ErrorFilterModule, Elmah" />
       </modules>
       <handlers>
              <add name="Elmah" verb="POST,GET,HEAD" path="elmah.axd" type="Elmah.ErrorLogPageFactory, Elmah" />
       </handlers>
<system.webServer>

Goto localhost/yourwebapplication/elmah.axd
