Installing Drupal

I am new to PHP and Drupal, so please bear with me. I downloaded the Drupal files onto a LAMP server installed in a virtual machine and copied them to another location. That location is aliased in Apache.

Hi. I just updated drupal 7 and on Status Report I get 'The directory tmp does not exists.' Should I just create an empty one on the installation root? If yes, with what permissions?. Regards.

I am migrating my website to local server and I have got the following error
"The requested URL /about/ was not found on this server". Can anyone help me to fix this?

Hello,

Hi everyone,

I get this error message after updating Drupal 7.14 to 7.24 when I browse to the site (that means, homepage and just any other page tried).

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, support@XXXXX.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

I downloaded Drupal 7.24 today and was following the install guide to the tee. When I run "localhost/install.php" using WAMP on my local machine, it shows on the explorer screen: "[One click installer] Installing the Search Engine Project". Am I doing something wrong? I copied and renamed the default.settings.php to settings.php.
