MVC: Cannot view my error page

I have setup ELMAH in my MVC application and I want to display a friendly scren if an exception is thrown. However I still get the YSOD. So in my web.config I have (I have also tried the other modes with no success). My error controller has namespace ITOF.Controllers { using System.Net; using System.Web.Mvc;

public class ErrorController : Controller
{
    [AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Get)]
    public ViewResult Unknown()
    {
        Response.StatusCode = (int)HttpStatusCode.InternalServerError;
        return View("Unknown");
    }

    [AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Get)]
    public ViewResult NotFound(string path)
    {
        Response.StatusCode = (int)HttpStatusCode.NotFound;
        return View("NotFound", path);
    }
}

}

These methods get called when the mode="On"

However I then get a Runtime Error YSOD which tells me to change my web.config customError mode="RemoteOnly"

Maybe there is an error in my Views?

Here they are;

Unknown.cshtml;

@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Error";
    Layout = "~/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml";
}

<h2>Sorry, an error occurred while processing your request.</h2>

NotFound.cshtml;

@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Not Found";
    Layout = "~/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml";
}

<h2>Lost?</h2>

    <p>Sorry - your request doesn't exist or was deleted.</p>

In your NotFound action you should be returning:

return View("NotFound", (object)path);

Notice how I am casting the second parameter to object in order to use the correct overload of the method. Otherwise you are calling the overload where the second argument represents a masterpage name.
