Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
I have mac osx version 10.7.3, and I have no problems playing pokemon showdown on the site, but when I try to use the downloaded version, which I have deleted and redownloaded many times, I get the error id: "bad_httpd_conf" problem.
