I'm having the same issue as this guy, but after commenting out both Options -Indexes and Options +FollowSymLinks the issue is still there. My error log also says "/.htaccess: Option Indexes not allowed here". Any other ideas?
you may want to file a ticket with your hosting company or if you have sufficient access yourself, you may want to check the options settings in httpd.conf and also your vhost setup
I'm using XAMPP to run a local install. XAMPP is running correctly. I have unzipped Drupal 7 and placed into my htdocs folder. My version of MySQL and PHP should be OK.
As I understand it, I should get a screen right out of the box, but I never get a Drupal 7 install screen, just a error 500. My error log says something like.
[Mon Feb 27 14:23:11 2012] [alert] [client 127.0.0.1] C:/xampp/htdocs/drupal712/.htaccess: order not allowed here
UPDATE: Ok so, for me I was able to just delete the .HTACCESS file. I tried finding the offending entry but it seems any entry was being rejected. Not sure why this is not working for Drupal on my local xampp server... Works for other sites locally... obviously this would not be acceptable for a live server.
