Spent all day on this one. This was all I needed to get 1and1 to play nice.
Cool thing is you don’t have to use any include or exclude mode.

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

#1and1 Server EE fix
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    Options +FollowSymLinks -Indexes
    Options -MultiViews
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteBase /subdirectory/
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.[a-zA-Z0-9]{1,5})$
    RewriteRule ^index.php/(.+)$ index.php?$1 [L,QSA] 
</IfModule>

That’s not working for me :(

I have EE set up in a subdirectory (so I can develop behind the existing site, as it were) and wondered if I should change the RewriteBase line. No value, including the subdirectory name, makes any difference. I keep getting 400 Bad Request errors on every page but the home page…

If you have any suggestions, I’d gratefully receive them.

That’s strange. Are you on 1and1 shared Linux hosting? What URL structure are you using to access the pages?

not working for me too
hope for new suggestions
thanks

I guess 1and1 is different for everyone. They are the worst host ever I’ve ever experienced when it comes simple things like cron jobs, htaccess, and basic apache setup.
I tried to warn my client against them but they didn’t listen. If you use EE, do yourself a favor and move hosts asap.

Yes, it’s Linux shared hosting.

I’ve set up a subdirectory /dev/ where I’ve successfully installed EE (1.6.8). In that subdirectory I have an .htaccess file that makes sure that PHP files are handled by PHP5 (this is my first irritation with 1and1):

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

I’m aware that this could just be the start of my problems… :(

Adding the lines of code from mrlee above allow the home page to work, but template groups throw a 400 Bad Request error (that seems odd, no?).

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    Options +FollowSymLinks -Indexes
    Options -MultiViews
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteBase /subdirectory/
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.[a-zA-Z0-9]{1,5})$
    RewriteRule ^index.php/(.+)$ index.php?$1 [L,QSA]
</IfModule>

Substituting other values in the RewriteBase line have no effect. I’ve tried adding and removing index.php as the name of the site’s index page, and I’m not sure any combination is going to work.

I’ve already asked the client to upgrade from their existing 1and1 Home account to a Business account to get the MySQL databases, which effectively doubled their hosting costs, and I’m very reluctant to ask them to change hosting.
