Thread was being aborted
I hate seeing this error.
Last night I moved this web site to another server and when I ran the site I got a YSOD telling me "Thread was being aborted" and "The type initializer for 'CommunityServer.Components.CSUrlReWriter' threw an exception".
I won't bore you with the hour of bumbling around checking permissions etc - none of which helped.
The answer, as ridiculous as it sounds, is discussed in the cs forums. I still don't understand it, but there it is.
Move your communityserver.config and web.config out of your app folder. Restart the website (and I restarted my app pool too). Copy the files back.
I can't believe I'm promoting this kind of voodoo, but after an hour with no success this worked immediately. Don't shoot the messenger!
BONUS TIP: My cable company DNS is notoriously slow to update. So today I updated my router to use www.opendns.com instead. Now I get DNS changes *much* faster. Updating the router was simple and now everyone at home gets to benefit from it.
