I had the dreaded error 500 message when uploading images and also php5 not being recognised as being installed on 1&1 servers. On trawling the internet I found the solution was to upload a “.htaccess” file to the root directory of my WordPress installation.
The following I pasted into notebook and saved as .htaccess – when uploaded it seemed to solve my problems and has worked on most of my WordPress sites where I have had problems.
AddType 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
