Here's how it went.

1) Install vB on home machine, WinXP, running on UniServer, which simulates the PHP and MySQL environment
2) Everything works fine
3) Mod the hell out of vB, eventually get everything to work fine
4) Upload to server
5) Everything works fine for the past 6 months
6) Laptop dies, taking down local development copy of code and DB
7) Website still working fine (internet copy)
8) Download website to new laptop
9) Reinstall UniServer, locally restore database dumps from web
10) Only part of website runs locally
11) Actual internet copy of site still runs perfectly

So, the problem is that probably 20-30% of my pages, when I try to surf them locally, show as blank pages. Nothing there, even though the exact same code/DB on the internet works flawlessly. Stranger still, most of the local copy still works, and I cannot for the life of me see why some sections would randomly not show up.

And this is the actual source code that ends up being spitted out:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"></HEAD>
<BODY></BODY></HTML>

Empty.

Any ideas?
