System.UriFormatException: Invalid URI: The hostname could not be parsed.
- by Shane
All of a sudden I'm getting the following error on my website. It doesnt access a db. just a simple website using .net 2.0.
I did recently apply the available windows server 2003 service packs. Could that have changed things?
I should add the error randomly comes and goes and has been doing so for today and yesterday. I leave it for 5 minutes and the error is gone.
Server Error in '/' Application.
