Hey guys forget the .htaccess folder… listen up!!!! If you are using 1&1 for your hosting… SOme guy posted this on another post in this forum… worked for me!
“I had to reply to this…i just wasted 2 1/2 hours searching, and making, renaming .htaccess a million times, via 1&1 web space access, and filezilla.
What worked for me, i just deleted me .htaccess file in my root folder, where the index.php folder is.
then, in the 1&1 control panel, under “Domains and Web Space” then under “Web Space” go to the link “Global PHP Version” then change it to “php5”
This was for 1&1 Home Linux hosting.
Good Luck. Hopefully it wont take you as long it did for me”
A big thanks to djciscoelnino for saving my life! Hope this helps guys…
