I'm getting hundreds of these error emails on my site a day (I get emailed if there's a 500 server error). The problem is the message isn't particularly useful, I can't seem to reproduce it or see what effect it is having on the visitors getting the errors.

One example of the full error message is:

Error Message: Error Caught in Page_Error event

Error in: http://www.scirra.com/forum/ Error Message: Stack Trace: at System.Web.CachedPathData.ValidatePath(String physicalPath) at System.Web.HttpApplication.PipelineStepManager.ValidateHelper(HttpContext context)

The thing to note is:

  • scirra.com/forum/ is a classic ASP application
  • The rest of the site is ASP.net

Can anyone help me work out more about what this message means?

Just the other day was fighting with a similar problem, and the culprit was a malformed url generated by the user.
