1and1 .htaccess problems.

[gar1606]

Hello, 

So I have never used 1and1 before but a client (kinda), has chosen to use them for this project. I have set up a /pw/ folder and ftp all the files into place, changed the config file and .htaccess but all I get now is the home page, whenever I try to go to www.blahblah.de/something I get a 500 error. the domain is pointed to the right folder or nothing would work, I have tried a number of things in the htaccess but nothing changes and the help from 1and1 is pretty terrible.

I have uncommented - RewriteBase /pw/ but that doesn't help...

Does anybody have some tips I could try, I am really losing it here!

Just a guess but when your ProcessWire instance is in /pw/ your URLs are probably www.blahblah.de/pw/something/.

Why did you place ProcessWire in a subfolder?
Why not in DocumentRoot?

In your .htaccess file, have a look at "11. OPTIONAL: Set a rewrite base if rewrites aren't working properly on your server." Uncomment the line "RewriteBase /".

Good question, I normally do the programming and someone else does this, I read it on a post somewhere and when I saw  RewriteBase /pw/ in the .htaccess file I went with it.

So I just moved it, updated the htaccess to RewriteBase / and SUCCESS!!

Thank you so much!

Glad it worked.
