I initially set up drupal 5.0 for a single site using the default set-up for that. I was bad and just dumped the files directly into the htdocs folder.

Now I'm wanting to set up a test site so I can install modules, and work on customizing the user profiles before I move those changes over to the production site. This means separate databases.

A little confused I forged ahead and admittedly broke my site attempting to follow instructions. Thank god for having mySQL Administrator installed which permitted me to make a back up of the database, reinstall xampp and restore the database and my files.

Root is htdocs

Drupal is in htdocs/drupal

Anyway, now my themes and modules are in sites/all/

My production site is in sites/sheffielduncensored.ath.cx
My dev site is in sites/sevsheffuncen.ath.cx

I then attempting to set up virtualhost, and started with this:

NameVirtualHost *

ServerName sheffielduncensored.ath.cx
DocumentRoot /www/

ServerName devsheffielduncensored.ath.cx
DocumentRoot /www/

Both URLS are giving errors

Fatal error: Call to undefined function user_access() in C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\drupal\includes\menu.inc on line 1376

Which refers to the below chunk of code:

/**
* Returns TRUE if the site is off-line for maintenance.
*/
function _menu_site_is_offline() {
// Check if site is set to off-line mode
if (variable_get('site_offline', 0)) {
// Check if the user has administration privileges
if (!user_access('administer site configuration')) {
// Check if this is an attempt to login
if (drupal_get_normal_path($_GET['q']) != 'user') {
return TRUE;
}
}
else {
$offline_message = t('Operating in off-line mode.');
$messages = drupal_set_message();
// Ensure that the off-line message is displayed only once [allowing for page redirects].
if (!isset($messages) || !isset($messages['status']) || !in_array($offline_message, $messages['status'])) {
drupal_set_message($offline_message);
}
}
}
return FALSE;
}

Line #1376 is this line :: if (!user_access('administer site configuration')) {

Why am I thinking putting the site offline while I tinkered with this was a BAD idea.

Checked the DB in dev

changed the offline site variable to that of an online one via mysql on the dev site only.

Then realized that I made a mistake pointing root to the right folder, so corrected that based on someones advice to www/drupal

I then battled with the Bad Request error.

I hopped onto google and searched finding that xampp is a bit picking on how virtual host is set up

I got past that error

I did some research on xampp and the virtual host function.

I found this:
http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum92/3130.htm

I put a copy of that code in with it adjusted to my stuff.

Now I get this error on the dev url I get :

Fatal error: Call to undefined function block_list() in C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\drupal\includes\theme.inc on line 1013

Which refers to this code:
/**
* Return a set of blocks available for the current user.
*
* @param $region
* Which set of blocks to retrieve.
* @return
* A string containing the themed blocks for this region.
*/
function theme_blocks($region) {
$output = '';

if ($list = block_list($region)) {
foreach ($list as $key => $block) {
// $key == module_delta
$output .= theme('block', $block);
}
}

// Add any content assigned to this region through drupal_set_content() calls.
$output .= drupal_get_content($region);

return $output;
}

This line in particular " if ($list = block_list($region)) {"

And on the production url I get the same error I had before:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function user_access() in C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\drupal\includes\menu.inc on line 1376

Any ideas since I have no clue at this point.
