Stupid me, and Stupid Windows.

In all the changes I made a typo.
BUT, the first failure was caused by WINDOWS calling the PHP user @'computer_name' instead of @localhost (UGH!)

So, I set the user apache to "anyhost" instead of "localhost" and all is well. . . . . . . . ALLMOST!!!!!!!!!!! Ugh!

Now Forums work, vB Admin CP works, vBP admin cp works, user CP works, BUT . . .

Most vBP pages cause;

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare advblocks() (previously declared in G:\apache2\htdocs\includes\advblocks.php:5) in G:\apache2\htdocs\includes\advblocks.php on line 5

But thats a discussion fro the vBPortal group.
