title: 1and1 subdirectory cakePHP installation issue
body: <p>I am deploying my app on a live server hosted on 1and1.co.uk.</p>
  
  <p>I am trying to make it work since 8 and getting crazy, trying with a fresh version downloaded from the <code>cakePHP</code> website.</p>
  
  <p>Here is my configuration.</p>
  
  <p>A subdomain pointing to a directory :</p>
  
  <pre><code>subdomain.mydomain.com =&gt; /subdirectory
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So I think the first question is, on the view of my app, is that a subdirectory ?</p>
  
  <p>I don't think so but I am not sure.</p>
  
  <p>I tried hundreds of <code>.htaccess</code> configurations, nothing works, I get a 500 error or the following message:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '=', expecting '(' in /homepages/41/d201409564/htdocs/hire/lib/Cake/bootstrap.php on line 173</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I thought <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20441896/how-to-configure-htaccess-file-for-cake-2-3-x-on-1and1-shared-hosting">that topic</a> would fix my problem, but still not working.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for your help</p>
