Featured Themes/Plugins don′t load

  • Hi all,
    Just installed wordpress on a 1and1 host.

    When I go to add themes or plugins the follow error pops up:

    An unexpected error occurred. Something may be wrong with www.ads-software.com or this server’s configuration. If you continue to have problems, please try the support forums.

    Obviously nothing is wrong with www.ads-software.com, so it must be my configuration. Ive spent a couple of days reading everything about it, but havent got any success so far (and I dont know much about wordpress, sorry). My guess is that is a problem of permissions on folders.

    The issue is that 1and1 dont let me change the permissions on the htaccess file (500 ‘SITE CHMOD 777 .htaccess’: command not understood… same with 775 or 755).

    This is how it looks like:

    AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
    AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php

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

    <FilesMatch “^.*(error_log|wp-config\.php|php.ini|\.[hH][tT][aApP].*)$”>
    Order deny,allow
    Allow from all
    </FilesMatch>

    I have written all that up myself, because I think wordpress hasnt got access to write on it, dunno.

    I have noticed also that there is no uploads folder under wp-content. I created one with filezilla, but for nothing.

    Any help will be kindly and humbly appreaciated.

    Thanks in advance

    I tried to download a random theme from wp and upload it to my website.

    It uploads fine, and then, a white page with the clear message:

    Missing a temporary folder.

    Please, any help will be very appreciated

    I created a /tmp folder using filezilla (obviously without being able to change any of its permissions)
    and in php.ini I have added the line

    upload_tmp_dir = /tmp

    No success tho
