Thank you djciscoelnino!!!!! All fixed and ready to go!
I had to reply to this…i just wasted 2 1/2 hours searching, and making, renaming .htaccess a million times, via 1&1 web space access, and filezilla.
What worked for me, i just deleted me .htaccess file in my root folder, where the index.php folder is.
then, in the 1&1 control panel, under “Domains and Web Space” then under “Web Space” go to the link “Global PHP Version” then change it to “php5”
This was for 1&1 Home Linux hosting.
Good Luck. Hopefully it wont take you as long it did for me
