Just received a notification that someone replied on this thread. First of sorry @thwright for not getting back in between. I got crazy busy and didn’t have time to trouble shoot properly, mainly as the page had to go live again asap.
@poomv2 I ended up disabling the problems plugin. That was the only way i got it to work. I even did a complete new install on the server.
After a bit of trail and error i ended up with a internal server error, which on its turn I could fix by following the advise in the following thread:
One option that i still want too try is install grav in a subdirectory so it doesn’t conflict with the 1&1 default folders.
Why or how its possible that the changes to setup.php are completely ignored i do not know. Hopefully the above helps you to at least get your site online again.
Other than that i can only advise to stay away from 1&1 shared hosting… really not worth the hassle.
