Thanks a lot! that worked perfectly! I didn’t even realize you could make an .htaccess file and get it to run on 1&1! Thanks again!

Rahul, I do have Elgg 1.2 running on a 1and1 share system. Elgg uses .htaccess to generate dynamic URLs.

1. Make sure you have .htaccess with AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php

2.Double check the path for the data folder – The full path to the directory where uploaded files will be stored, followed by a trailing slash:

3.Checkout the ff: http://docs.elgg.org/wiki/Installation

To follow-up on my previour comment, the file download was triggered on wordpress admin site only. My blog is working fine with the php5 entries.

I am using wordpress 2.6 so i guess this is compatible with php5, is there any additional config?

Well that looks OK… Obviously your .htaccess is being processed as .php files are no longer being processed as they were before. However, it would seem that your server doesn’t have the x-mapp-php5 type defined… I don’t know why that would be… Does anyone else on this comment list have any suggestions?

I am hosting with 1and1, I did not have .htaccess before and i created one with two line to support php5

AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php

I also created file phpver.php in the same directory as .htaccess when i invoke the file from browser it now prompts me to save the file. The file downloaded had the actuall php code. What am i doing wrong.

[...] I’d give it a try. Installation had 2 steps. One, unzipping a file on my web server and, two, configuring my 1and1 server to work with php5. After that, it works exactly like muxtape. I think I might make some changes to the app so it can [...]

PHP at 1and1 from the command line defaults to PHP4 so running this still uses the older version”

./envinfo.php5

To get the command line to use PHP5, use this instead.

php5 envinfo.php5

My limited words can’t express how appreciative I am for this article.

I found this site after spending stressful and frustrating hours with 1and1 support to noavail.

I am glad to note that after following your recommendation regarding the 500 Error message and Wordpress my problem went away INSTANTLY. I wish I had Google search earlier instead of spending countless hours with 1and1.

Thanks
