I have an error page located at Errors/Error in my ErrorsController. If I create an error it redirects me to that page fine. However I get a error email from Elmah stating the message below. Is there a reason why I am getting this message even thought my error page displayed fine?

System.InvalidOperationException: The view 'Error' or its master was not found or no view engine supports the searched locations. The following locations were searched: ~/Views/divisions/Error.cshtml ~/Views/divisions/Error.vbhtml ~/Views/Shared/Error.cshtml ~/Views/Shared/Error.vbhtml

Web.Config

   <customErrors mode="Off" defaultRedirect="~/Error">
          <error statusCode="404" redirect="~/PageNotFound" />
      </customErrors>

These should not be at the root. They have to be in the Views\divisions or Views\Shared folder. The reason it's displaying is likely because IIS is showing it, bypassing MVC. – Erik Funkenbusch Oct 29 '12 at 21:29
Add your Elmah web.config portion, if it's sending you emails, then it's configured to do so. – Erik Philips Oct 29 '12 at 21:42
what do you mean 'if you create an error'? – Tommy Oct 29 '12 at 21:45
If I go to a controller action that does supply a correct parameter it will throw an error and redirecto my error page. – Mike Flynn Oct 29 '12 at 22:26
