The path does not have a valid format.

I got this strange erro when I randomly started my project. I think it has something to do about the IIS 7. But I'm not sure.

 

The stack trace says:

[ArgumentException: Sökvägen har inte ett giltigt format.]

Any ideas on this? Please help me!

If you have configured watermarks for you image galleries you can check once again and verify correctness of following attribute (imageAbsoluteFilePath):

<configuration>
  <episerver.community>
    <sites>
      <site siteId="*">
        <imageGallery>
          <watermark imageAbsoluteFilePath="?">

I'm getting closer! When I added the "?" It says: Illegal characters in path.

I have no idea what this is about cuz I never used the watermark!

Thank you Valdis Iljuconoks!

My path in web.config is looking for:

C:\EPiServer\VPP\CleanCMS\EPiServerCommunity\Modules\ImageGallery\Originals

But I'm missing ImageGallery\Originals

So something is fucked up (y)

Try to comment out watermark element. EPiServer will not try to initialize it if it does not exist.
