Hi:
I fixed the problem. Turns out I first have to define the user and password
and URL in vcl.conf file, then add the XMlRPCAPI allowed user in conf.php
file.
Thanks,
Xianqing

Subject: Try to use block allocation
Hi VCL team:
I try to use the block allocation function in VCL, however I always get
error message. It seem that I didn't properly set up XML RPC. The following
is message in log file. Thanks in advance.

Use of uninitialized value $owner_affiliation_helpaddress in concatenation
(.)
or string at /usr/local/vcl/bin/../lib/VCL/blockrequest.pm line 169
(#1)
(W uninitialized) An undefined value was used as if it were already
defined. It was interpreted as a "" or a 0, but maybe it was a mistake.
To suppress this warning assign a defined value to your variables.
To help you figure out what was undefined, perl will try to tell you the
name of the variable (if any) that was undefined. In some cases it
cannot
do this, so it also tells you what operation you used the undefined
value
in. Note, however, that perl optimizes your program and the operation
displayed in the warning may not necessarily appear literally in your
program. For example, "that $foo" is usually optimized into "that "
. $foo, and the warning will refer to the concatenation (.) operator,
even though there is no . in your program.
