Textpattern on 1and1 hosting – “Error 500 – Internal server error”
If you are trying to install the lovely Textpattern CMS on 1and1 hosting (you poor thing) then you’ll probably get the following error:
Error 500 - Internal server error An internal server error has occured! Please try again later.
Most hosts work with the default .htaccess file that comes with Textpattern 4.3, but 1and1 don’t for some reason. Easy fix though for a change – just uncomment the RewriteBase line after the ReWrite engine is turned on and make sure it’s right for your site. The following worked for me:
RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /
Pow – now Textpattern works on 1and1 hosting with clean URLs.
