    Alright guys – I’m currently in the process of switching to bluehost. I have to contact 1and1 billing to see if they’ll refund my next six months/change my newest domain to be just a registration (it’s less than 60 days old).

    wish me luck i guess?

    I keep getting a error 500 now that I’ve re-routed my domain to the sub-directory I have all my wordpress in – it loads the first page fine on the .com but everything else it goes to error 500 and I can’t login to my admin panel anymore. Don’t know what’s up with that. Actively looking for a different hoster right now…it’s not going well.

    I deleted everything – database included and started over. It is running now – but I don’t have any of my old posts. I have the old database backed up – any idea how to just get the posts from the database? It’s not that deep if not, but I’d like to.

    I wonder if deleting everything and then calling to ask them to install it would work? I already over-wrote my content folder in case it was a theme making things all wonky. We’ll see I guess.

    I’m looking into switching hosts this isn’t the first issue with 1and1. I have three domains two of the. I just want to be redirectors and the third be my actual site. Any tips on what WORDPRESS integrated host I should pick? My main deciding factor is budget. I pay $23 every six months for 1and1 and can’t afford much more than that right now.

    I got this response from 1and1:
    “Hi Reba,

    I am sorry to hear about your trouble upgrading wordpress. The error you’re
    getting is a scripting error and unfortunately it is not one we provide
    support for. You’re already on the right track to find a solution. Stick
    with wordpress support, they should be able to help you out.”

    Don’t know what to do now.

    It still isn’t working.

    I contacted 1and1 but have not heard back yet.

    I did it all over again – even re-downloaded wp and overwrote all files in case a theme was affecting it. Maybe I uploaded my .htaccess file to the wrong directory? Everywhere it says to the root of your wordpress file. Is that my sites file then? For instance…I have site>wordpress>wordpress folders and i uploaded the .htaccess to the site folder – is that not the root of my blog?

    zeo – I don’t need it installed I need it upgraded. I am going to try going through it again.

    rainer23 – I’m in the US.

    I’ll try calling 1and1 but I doubt they’ll be much help. I would switch hosts but they have been the cheapest one I have found and I wouldn’t even know how to switch my other site with its database and such to a new host.

    Here’s to crossing our fingers! 🙂

    I think I may just give up on 2.9.2. Everytime i try to upgrade somehing like this happens. I wonder if the auto upgrade is just not compatible with m browser? I use firefox.

    Okay, I added it:

    AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>
    
    # END WordPress

    But I’m still getting the same error – do I have to delete the spaces or? I saved it as .htaccess and overwrote the other file – still an error?

    I found the .htaccess file finally! Yay! Now – onto the real work. I opened it in Dreamweaver (it is a binary file ja?).

    This is what it says:

    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>
    
    # END WordPress

    Where do I put AddType x-mapp-php5 .php – above the #begin or after?

    I have the basic package with linux hosting. I searched the wordpress installation file and did not find a .htaccess file. I guess I have to create it then? How can I go about doing this?

    Thanks again for all of your help so far – I really appreciate it!

    I’m using filezilla. Is .htaccess in a sub folder of the install? I tried searching in the folder and didn’t find it. I’ll look again after this board meeting.
