Beware what host you choose for CMS Made Simple

10/13/09 at 09.48 by: tim

I recently transferred a client off my web host, and their web guy signed up for a 1and1.com account. Keep in mind, I have nothing against 1and1.com; to the contrary, their administration area is pretty good, and their prices are fantastic.

They support both PHP4 and PHP5, which is key. However, PHP5 files need to be suffixed with the file extension .php5. Something that makes working with a CMS that uses dynamic file reading very complicated. (read: impossible without a rewrite of a lot of code)

The base installation of CMS Made Simple works fine; it throws a warning for the PHP Version, but otherwise flows smoothly, and works properly. The problem lies when you go to install modules. A very important one, as it happens. CGExtensions is a module by CalGuy that allows modules to create templates that get stored in the database. It's heavy on PHP5 code, and therefore on 1and1 throws an error when you try to install it.

The only workaround I can figure out without changing the module's code is to install a prior version of the module, 1.15.

This would not be the end of the world if it was an isolated module; I would create another one by myself and move on. Unfortunately, many other modules are based upon this, and therefore a LOT of work would need to be done to get everything re-coded for PHP 4. And honestly, why should I do that if plenty of other hosts are fine with PHP5?

In conclusion, 1and1.com is a good host; I would steer clear of them for CMS Made Simple, however.

I host a large number of CMS Made Simple sites on 1&1 using php5. I use the .htaccess mapping above and it works fine. I have plenty of gripes with 1&1. lack of php5 support isn't one of them though ;)

You can work around this issue by adding this line to your .htaccess file:
AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
