PHP memory problems on 1and1

  • Hey guys I would just like to offer a solution I found to the memory problems I was having. After installing two widgets I couldn’t install any more. I was getting blanks pages, couldn’t access areas of wordpress etc..

    I tried all the solutions on offer adding lines to code here and there but nothing worked.

    I contacted 1and1 and here is the solution that worked

    1. Open Notepad
    2. Type in “AddType x-mapp-php5 .php”
    3. Click on File > Save As
    4. Under drop down menu for “Save as type” select “All files”
    5. Under File name type in “.htaccess”
    6. Click Save.

    This worked straight away and have my site now up and running perfect

    hope this helps someone

  • For some people that will crash their website!
    That is telling the web server to use php version 5 for files .php
    Sounds like your hosting company is by default set to use PHP 4. They are way behind the times….
