Introduction
I am working on an existing website. Here,
I am using google adsense for my website as most people do, the problem i faced that the ads were not working for the website.
Lately, i have found that if i append '/' at the end of each url, then ads starts displaying.
Problem
Now, i been looking for help to append the '/' char to every url of my webpage but (search results)either not working or relative.
For example : if i have webpage http://example.com, and i need it to http://example.com/
Handlers in web.config(i don't this this will be needed, anyways)

I dont know how to write code for web.config file or route file, if someone knew the way, please help.
Thanks for your time.

I don't know much about IIS configuration at all.
I'm running a blog based on Blogengine.net (http://dotnetblogengine.net/) I upgraded it to 2.6 (from 2.0) and was moved by my service provider to a new server that supports .NET 4.
The problem is that all http-handlers are not working. I have no direct control over the web server except for the web.config. The support at my service provider has generated a log for me, which gives a bit more details than a 404 when requesting something from a handler. It says HANDLER_PRECONTITION_NOT_MATCH which I suspect could be the cause of this problem.
As I said, I don't know much at all about configuration like this, the site work locally when running on IIS7.5 Express, but there seems to be the same problem when using the standard development server. My site has been non working for days now, and I'm running out of options, what to try to do!
A snippet from my web.config (exactly like the one from blogengine.net download):

I have finally solved the problem! the "Pool mode" in my service providers settings was set to classic. I changed it to "integration" and all problems went away :-)
Below is my web.config, I'm very new at web.config and configuring it, but I was able to find a little data on this, can someone point out what is wrong with my web.config and what it takes to change it?

EDIT: Elmah = (Error Logging Modules and Handlers)
http://code.google.com/p/elmah/
I just had a similar problem with Elmah not working in an IIS7 deployment. I found that I needed to register the Elmah Modules and Handlers in system.web AND system.webServer:
<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>
You may be need this one also
<elmah>
<security allowRemoteAccess="1" />
</elmah>
when you get
403 - Forbidden: Access is denied.
You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the
credentials that you supplied.
Try registering the Modules and Handlers in the sections "httphandlers" and "httpmodules" in the <system.web> section:
<httpHandlers>
......
<add verb="POST,GET,HEAD" path="elmah.axd" type="Elmah.ErrorLogPageFactory, Elmah"/>
.....
</httpHandlers>
<httpModules>
.......
<add name="ErrorMail" type="Elmah.ErrorMailModule, Elmah"/>
<add name="ErrorLog" type="Elmah.ErrorLogModule, Elmah"/>
<add name="ErrorFilter" type="Elmah.ErrorFilterModule, Elmah"/>
.......
</httpModules>
One way to get around it today is to use nuget.
Visual studio:menu->tools->library package manager->package manager console
install-package elmah
HTH
This line was missing when I installed using NuGet (VS 2013, IIS 8.0):
<system.webServer>
<handlers>
<add name="Elmah" verb="POST,GET,HEAD" path="elmah.axd" type="Elmah.ErrorLogPageFactory, Elmah" />
</handlers>
</system.webServer>
Adding it solved the 404 error problem.
The nuget package does not add the following important lines to web.config resulting in 403 error.
<configuration>
<elmah>
<security allowRemoteAccess="1" />
<errorLog type="Elmah.XmlFileErrorLog, Elmah" logPath="~/app_data/elmah" />
</elmah>
</configuration>
Also you may want to restrict the access to error logs by
<add name="Elmah" verb="POST,GET,HEAD" path="/admin/elmah.axd" type="Elmah.ErrorLogPageFactory, Elmah" resourceType="Unspecified" requireAccess="Script" preCondition="integratedMode" />
if you are using Areas make sure that you have updated one of the appsetting key
Default
<add key="elmah.mvc.route" value="elmah" />
If you are an area as Admin
<add key="elmah.mvc.route" value="admin/elmah" />
What is the difference of adding and removing handlers in as oppose to ?
In a new web project I made with VS2008, the handlers are defined as this:
<system.web>
...
<httpHandlers>
<remove verb="*" path="*.asmx"/>
<add verb="*" path="*.asmx" validate="false" type="System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptHandlerFactory, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"/>
<add verb="*" path="*_AppService.axd" validate="false" type="System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptHandlerFactory, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"/>
<add verb="GET,HEAD" path="ScriptResource.axd" type="System.Web.Handlers.ScriptResourceHandler, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" validate="false"/>
<add verb="*" path="/hello/helloworld.xml" type="HandlerTest.HelloWorldHandler, HandlerTest"/>
</httpHandlers>
<httpModules>
<add name="ScriptModule" type="System.Web.Handlers.ScriptModule, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"/>
</httpModules>
</system.web>
But in a pre-existing project, (ie: Community server), the http handlers are added/removed in as follows:
<system.webServer>
<validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false"/>
<security>
<requestFiltering allowDoubleEscaping="true"/>
</security>

Why are there more than one way of registering an http handler?
The <system.web> section applies to IIS6 and below whereas <system.webServer> applies to IIS7 and above. The layout of web.config was re-engineered for IIS7 to make it more powerful / friendly, but at the cost of backwards compatibility.
The second example that you posted where they are in the '' node is the way to configure for IIS 7 allowing you to configure the server directly. The other method is "legacy" and works on all supported IIS versions.
I've setup ELMAH exactly as with the sample app. I attempt to throw an error to test ELMAH by using:
throw new InvalidOperationException();
Unfortunately however my app is going straight to the error and ELMAH is not catching/logging the error. I am using ASP.NET 3.5. I am not sure what I am doing wrong as the Web.Config is exactly the same as the sample
Double check your Web.config. I had the same problem until I realized I forgot to register the module.
<add name="ErrorLog" type="Elmah.ErrorLogModule, Elmah" />
I found this article over on dotnetslackers helpful.
Since Elmah is open source, you should add the code as a project in your solution and make sure that you have visual studio break on all exceptions. It sounds feasible that Elmah is throwing an Exception which would be swallowed. This exact thing was happening with me and it was a permission on the stored procedure that inserts the error.
ORIGINAL
Is your test within a try/catch block? If so, you'll have to explicitly force the logging to occur.
Elmah.ErrorSignal.FromCurrentContext().Raise(ex);
