Getting SEO to work on 1and 1 servers

[steveblue]

Hello all,
I run this script on 1and1 shared hosting, and the defualt htaccess file does not work correctly with their setup. With a bit of headsratching, I have finally got it to work . Here is what you need to have in your htaccess file to get it to work with 1and1 servers;

Options +FollowSymLinks 
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ index.php?category=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/index([0-9]+).html$ index.php?category=$1&page=$2 [QSA,L]

RewriteRule ^new-links.html$ new-links.php [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^new-links([0-9]+).html$ new-links.php?page=$1 [QSA,L]

RewriteRule ^top-links.html$ top-links.php [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^top-links([0-9]+).html$ top-links.php?page=$1 [QSA,L]

RewriteRule ^popular-links.html$ popular-links.php [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^popular-links([0-9]+).html$ popular-links.php?page=$1 [QSA,L]

RewriteRule ^editor-links/index.html$ editor-links.php [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^editor-links/index([0-9]+).html$ editor-links.php?page=$1 [QSA,L]

RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)-l([0-9]+).html$ view-link.php?cat=$1&title=$2&id=$3 [QSA,L]

Hope that helps.
Steve
