title: 1and1 mod_rewrite issues
body: <p>I'm currently trying to have my 1and1 host an .htaccess file with mod_rewrite enabled, it works on my local wamp, but it doesn't on the server,</p>
  
  <p>Any help would be greatly appreciated!</p>
  
  <p>I've tried removing everything but the mod_rewrite block and the issue still persists...</p>
  
  <p>I've asked 1&amp;1 for support, they closed my ticket without answering... o_O,</p>
  
  <p>Please help!</p>
  
  <p>.htaccess file:</p>
  
  <pre><code>#
  # Dream Forgery Settings:
  #
  AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
  
  RewriteEngine on
  RewriteBase /
  
  # Rewrite current-style URLs of the form 'strap.php?q=x'.
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /strap.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Edit:</p>
  
  <p>I don't have access to apache logs as this is a shared hosting, but the functionality expected is to redirect urls for example:</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://example.com/arg1/arg2/arg3" rel="nofollow">http://example.com/arg1/arg2/arg3</a></p>
  
  <p>to</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://example.com/strap.php?q=arg1/arg2/arg3" rel="nofollow">http://example.com/strap.php?q=arg1/arg2/arg3</a></p>
  
  <p>(it is currently giving 404 errors, only the 404 page from 1&amp;1 shows up)</p>
