Auto Upgrade Fix for 1and1 users

I have to agree with the previous comment. This was such a pain in the neck to work around…and so simple a fix.

Thank you.

same chit with 2.9.1 upgrade, it WOULD NOT work if you are on 1and1 unless you modify the .HTACCESS file , just did it and it did upgrade to 2.9.1
content of the .htaccess file below

# BEGIN AnyFont
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^images/(.*)/(.*)\.png$ wp-content/plugins/anyfont/img.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END AnyFont

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

AddType x-mapp-php5 .php

# END WordPress

======================================
the line that says:

AddType x-mapp-php5 .php

was added in there or it wouldn’t upgrade automatically on 1and1 to 2.9.1 again!
=============================================

I just tried this, the upgrade seemed to work, but now I’m getting a 500 error on every single page of the blog except the home page. AAAAGGGGHHHH!! Is 1&1 worth the trouble? Any suggestions on WP-friendly hosting?
