php 5.1 and Installation on 1and1

Permalink
Hi everyone--This is my 1st post here. Thanks in advance for any replies.

I had a test account setup here at Concrete5, but didn't get a chance to run through everything that I wanted to test before my trial account expired, so I decided to try to install C5 to my webhost--1and1.

I followed the excellent instructions that were posted by pginpa. I think that I set up things as required, but when I try to access the new site, there is no login, and all I see is is "Concrete5 requires PHP5.1." I used the latest C5 build (5.4.1), and am hoping that I won't need to revert to an earlier release of C5. The site can be seen (or not) at http://www.stringfrets.com.

Does anybody know if there is a setting that I can modify in the 1and1 control panel for this, or is 1and1 just behind the curve in setting up the current php standard?

Thanks!

Moin,

1and1 still uses php4 as default.

You can switch this somewhere in the control panel.
Or put this line in a .htaccess file
in the webroot.

# PHP5 IS REQUIRED!
AddType x-mapp-php5 .php AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php



have a nice day

Thanks Stefan, your answer was what I was looking for. I am able to get to the login screen now, but unfortunately, I cannot seem to login. I've checked all of the login requirements, but so far, I'm not able to access C5. I think that 1and1 might have a firewall or something that is preventing me access. I'm still trying to work it out in the 1and1 control panel.

Thanks

Hi Im new to this too. also on 1&1. but according to 1&1 I am on 5 already. I have the same issue but I tried: (htaccess file)

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

which did not work, then I tried:

AddType x-mapp-php5.1 .php
AddHandler x-mapp-php5.1 .php
