elmah on iis6 and 7.5 mvc2

I am trying to get elmah working on a remote web server and my local iis 7.5 server. The remote server is iis 6. Elmah works the visual studio 2010 development server. When you browse to a aspx page that doesn't exist, it logs it and shows it in the log. When I test the application on iis 6 and iis 7.5 I can get to the elmah log page but it never logs anything. I am using mvc 2. I should also mention that I downloaded the nerddinner demo which also works on the development server but gives me the exact same results on iis 7.5.

Below is my web.config:

I have been trying to figure this out for a couple days now and am ready to move on to something else... fyi I also added the custom attributes from nerd dinner to my controllers.

Ahh.. sigh I love posting things on here, I always figure out my own answers...

After doing some more searching, I am assuming it has to do with file creating permissions although I didn't verify this just assuming. I switched to store it on a sql server and it works great!...

So if you are trying to do xml logging, make sure your host provider lets you have file creation priviledges.
