    We've recently moved to a new server on 1and1.com and are now getting the message "RewriteRule doesn't work in .htaccess files on this server" within the Protected Folders area for all folders we want to protect. This was not a problem on our old server.

    Apparently, this host doesn't automatically set the ReWriteEngine On, so I created .htaccess files at the root level, in the amember directory, and in each of the directories I want to protect that turns this on - the host said this should work. But Amember is still giving the same message.

    I saw a similar problem posted for hostgator where the problem was solved by setting a bunch of directories to 755. All the directories from amember down are 755 already, so that hasn't helped.

    Any suggestions?
