Error Handling Code seems to be ignored

I have the following code that executes fine in my dev environment but seems to be ignored or errors out in production:

global.asax

    protected void Application_Error(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        try
        {
            LinqToColloqDataContext db = DataAccess.GetMWContext();

            Log newLog = new Log();
            System.Exception Thisex = Server.GetLastError();

            newLog.Date = DateTime.UtcNow;
            newLog.Exception = Thisex.ToString() + Thisex.StackTrace.ToString();
            newLog.Level = "1";
            newLog.Message = Thisex.Message;
            newLog.Thread = "x";
            newLog.Logger = "L";

            db.Logs.InsertOnSubmit(newLog);

            db.SubmitChanges();
        }
        catch (System.Exception ex)
        {
            int whattodonow = 1;
        }
    }

I don't know if it is not being hit because appharbor's config intercepts the call before it is called or if it is failing when I try to submit the linq query.

Not having any sort of access to event logs is getting really frustrating.

   Are you using MVC 3? By default, there's an filters.Add(new HandleErrorAttribute()); in the RegisterGlobalFilters method of your Global.asax.cs. If you remove that, your logging-method should be triggered.

   Let me know if this doesn't resolve your problem.

   Actually, with mvc2 I had to add the custom error mode = off to my web.config. I guess it was using whatever you all have in the machine . Config file.

   OK, that would do it too.
