Second question: why did you remove the Base URL attached to each list from the web interface ?
If you could do a suitably fuzzy search of the older archives for "a list admin set the Base URL wrong and we can't do anything" you would see lots of posts about variations on that theme. And the unpleasant means of recovery particularly for those lacking heavy-duty access to the server.
It used to be much too easy to create havoc by making a faulty change. Now it's a little to hard to make a correct change.
Seemingly, no one has felt moved to create code that would vette an attempted change and forestall the fatal errors. I don't want to attempt it.
