    That's strange that they want you to install php5. Most hosts would prefer you not upgrade software like that and will do it for you.

    For awhile after php5 was released, hosts were hesitant to upgrade, because some php4 applications would break. More recently it seems like at the very least, most hosts are offering a choice of php4 and php5. In that case, though, you just need to let the host know and they set it up for you.

    If all you need to do is add a line of code to .htaccess then maybe they are all set up and it's not too difficult on your end. Is it possible you mistyped something in the .htaccess file? It's also possible support gave you the wrong line of code. Something tells me with what they gave you and a little searching you can make it work. Might not be too hard.

    You are probably right, but we ( the client and I) didn't discuss me doing anything like that, so I thought it best to let him handle it since he has other things on that account. I apprised him of the situation and right now he doesn't seem to concerned about it.

    The frustration was mostly mine, and I found a way around it, but I am not happy with dealing with 1and1 right now.
    I don't like their set up at all.

    I have several sites which are hosted in a shared 1and1 account. While I personally prefer cpanel to the 1and1 proprietary dashboard, I have never had a problem uploading or downloading files with whatever FTP program I happen to be using. For the last couple of years, I have used Filezilla for all my FTP'ing and have never had a problem with 1and1.

    I got used to it over the last few days, but I guess I am so used to direct FTP access to drag and drop files at will and edit files on the spot without having to upload zipped files only, and having to download files to my computer, edit and then re upload them to make changes...it's just really slow for my needs.

    Thankfully, I am down with that job and all is well.
