Everything was working fine except I was having an issue with www.[domainname].com coming up fine and [domainname].com serving an umbraco page not found. I wanted to try and fix it so I thought I needed to get into admin. I forgot my admin password so I reset it using a hash of the word default and logged in. Tweaked around the hostnames and republished the site. Still not working for [domainname].com so I figured i muck around in the umbracoSettings.config. Made a simple change : <useDomainPrefixes>true</useDomainPrefixes>. Saved the file.

Now when trying to access the site I was getting no response (server closed connection) in browser. Looked on server, CPU at 100% and DW20.exe eating up memory like no tomorrow. Reverted my change to     <useDomainPrefixes>false</useDomainPrefixes>. Restarted AppPool. Still same issue. Restarted Server. Still same issue. Disabled error reporting so that DW20.exe won't destroy my server but still the app pool crashes, specifically, the w3wp.exe process crashes. I found topic related to this in the forums regarding database connection string being no good. I verified the connection string, works just fine. I remove the connection string from the web.config and the app starts then throws a normal exception. When I replace the connection string, it blows up the w3wp process.

I really don't want to have to redeploy -> migrate db -> migrate files in order to restore this system to a working state. What should I do? Please help me!!!!
