I thought I would put together the quick and dirty on any htaccess issues people are having with installing Drupal on a 1and1 host.
- First Find:
-
#RewriteBase /drupaland change it to:
RewriteBase /If it resides anywhere outside the root of the domain change the path of / to /drupal or whatever it is. By updating this with 1and1 you will be able to use clean url's. Without this update to the .htaccess file clean url's won't work. You won't see that this isn't working until you activate or try to activate clean url's. Since you'll be in this file anyways right now you might as well update it.
- Second Add this at the end:
-
AddType x-mapp-php5 .phpIf you get a global error then this will remove that error and make it possible to continue.
That fixed everything for me. If you want to see all my .htaccess file code I've listed it below.
