ASP.NET app fails to load, then suddenly starts behaving!

T

teddysnips

I recently had to rebuild an instance of SQL Server. When it was
restarted, one of the client apps (ASP.NET) could not connect - the
user could see the login screen, but it kept throwing exceptions.
Turns out that the database had been restored with a different name,
so the connection string (stored in web.config) was amended.

At that point the system failed to display even the login screen - it
failed with the error message shown at the foot of this message.

While we were scratching our heads (about 24 hours) the application
suddenly started working again. For no known reason - i.e. the
intranet server had no changes, no SPs, no HotFixes, nowt. It just
suddenly decided to play ball again.

Thoughts?
