I'm running a local IIS 7.5 server in Win 7 Pro, and I'm trying to add a custom error page for 403 responses.
When I click OK to add a custom error page for my site, IIS Manager just vanishes. The server is still running, and I can re-start IIS Manager, but the new page has not been saved.
I've also tried adding it directly to web.config, but that just gives me The page cannot be displayed because an internal server error has occurred.
Does anyone know why this might be happening?
Edit:
The event log implies that an invalid character in the path caused the crash, but It occured even when I copied & pasted a path from a valid entry.
Application error log:
IISMANAGER_CRASH
IIS Manager terminated unexpectedly.
Exception:System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. --- System.ArgumentException: Illegal characters in path.
