Logging errors in ASP.NET (MVC) through the Custom Error

Question

In my web.config I have the following:

<customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="/error.aspx"/>

When an error occurs, the user is redirected to /error.aspx?aspxerrorpath=/somepage where I can get user's name, name of the page, date, but... I can't get the error message!

I can get it via the OnException method, but then I won't be able to get the name of the page which is very important for me.

How can I get both the page and the error message?

I would suggest you to use
"ELMAH (Error Logging Modules and Handlers) is an application-wide error logging facility that is completely pluggable. It can be dynamically added to a running ASP.NET web application, or even all ASP.NET web applications on a machine, without any need for re-compilation or re-deployment"
