Installing Drupal

Hello :)

I have a Drupal site that I want to install locally on my Wamp server. I imported the files and the database but I have a problem with the .htaccess file.
- If the file is activated (.htaccess) the site does not answer, just a 500 error.
- If the file is disabled (htaccess.txt) home page appears but the links do not work.

What should I do so that the local site has the same behavior as on the remote server?
That modify the .htaccess?

Thank you for your answers !

Hi,

Can someone point me to what I am missing here. Drupal 7.3.3(Apache) installation is successful but after installation, it redirects to http://localhost:8081/?q=node&destination=node with a 404 Page not found error

Under the site "status report" I get this complaint the the directory sites/default/ is not writable. So I look at it from the command prompt and sure enough it is not writable. I change it with chmod and run ls -al and it shows that it is now writable:

drwxrwxr-x 4 www-data www-data 4096 Nov 12 12:29 default

It stays writable until I refresh the Drupal status report and then directory becomes unwritable again.

I've just done an upgrade of 7.33. The site is working but there are a couple of issues in the Status Report including:

Hi, I am having trouble in configuring drupal multisite installation after the default installation.

My site said there was a problem with ckeditor so I added the module again on both my local site and my live site now I cannot log into either site, I have removed ckeditor from my local site but it makes no difference I am just getting 'You cannot log in until you have allowed cookies to be used.' I have tried on another pc but the same message comes up. I have cleared the cache on my pc but that made no difference. Help please !!

Have anybody used to install Open Public distribution (openpublic 7.x-1.2) on IIS 8.0 and SQL Server 2012 R2 ?
