I enabled Apache in a Mac Desktop here at work in order to test http://www.drupal.org I downloaded the file which is a tar.gz file into the Sites folder. I decompressed the file, but something very strange is happening. When I go to the browser I'm NOT able to see the Drupal directory! I'm able to see the .tar file and when I manually type the path to the Drupal dir, I get:
http://alabama/~behavior/drupal/drupal-5.2 (this is the path)
and I get error:
500 Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, you@example.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
What could be the problem. I'm able to run PHP scripts and run MySQL. I took a look at my console for error logs and got:
[Thu Aug 02 17:20:58 2007] [alert] [client 172.27.0.67] /Users/admin/Sites/drupal/drupal-5.2/.htaccess: Options not allowed here
