Fatal error: Call to a member function url() on a non-object in /var/www...

I've just set up a local development site in a VirtualBox VM, running Drupal 6 with Apache 2 on Ubuntu.

This is an export version of our live site, so my hope is to be able to exactly replicate it for testing purposes.

However, any time I so much as include the codebase (Civi 4.4.4) in the modules folder, Drupal pukes and fails to bootstrap.

The error it returns is:  Fatal error: Call to a member function url() on a non-object in /var/www/www.wfs.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/CRM/Utils/System.php on line 220

My guess is that this is caused by an incorrect file path variable somewhere in Civi's configuration files, but the only place I could find such a variable was in civicrm.settings.php and that's working fine right now. I'm making this guess because I faced a bunch of similar problems already since the site root on our live server has a different file path.

Does anyone have any ideas/possible next steps for me to take? Thanks so much!

Try removing civicrm.settings.php and install CiviCRM fresh as a test. Then if it works, edit civicrm.settings.php to point to your real database.

Removing civicrm.settings.php seems to have done the trick, so I suppose the problem was in there. I'll go about seeing what I can do to fix it, thanks much!

Actually, it was a different problem, so if anyone's searching for this in the future:

There's a temp files directory for Civi, mine was at /var/www/www.wfs.org/sites/default/files/civicrm/templates_c/en_US/

Somehow the permissions got screwy for this directory and Civi wasn't able to open it or write files; I rm'd en_US, replaced it, and then had to chmod -R 777 en_US/

That's obviously a suboptimal solution from a security standpoint, but since this is a test site on a local VM I'm not really worried.

Things seem to be working, thanks for the hint!
