Installing Tiki on 1&1 | |
This is to note things that deviate from the regular installation instructions. |
WebspaceExplorer | |
1and1 has a nice tool which lets you unzip the files on the server. This is much faster than uploading all the files. So when you download Tiki, get the .zip version unzip on server via WebspaceExplorer can take 30-40 seconds |
Make sure you have PHP5 | |
You may get something like this: Copy to clipboard
With the proper .htaccess, it becomes 5.2.6 This will change over time (and perhaps from server to server but at the time of writing)
|
Database is not localhost | |
This is not uncommon. When you are in tiki-install.php, make sure to replace localhost with the value provided by 1and1
|
File uploads | |
With default configuration, file uploads are broken. ref: Understanding Encoding You can solve by
thing to check
|
Error 500 | |
I solved them with this instruction "RewriteBase /" after the "RewriteEngine On" in the .htaccess: Copy to clipboard
