I have also succeeded in an initial installation of Moodle on 1and1.com (25 October 2012), though it took a bit of doing. The 2.3 version wouldn't install because 1and1's version of MySQL was not recent enough, so I installed Moodle 2.2.5+. Here are my steps.

I uploaded moodle-latest-22.tgz to my 1and1 directory.

I used SSH to get to a command line and I extracted the files using

tar -zxvf moodle-latest-22.tgz

I established a moodledata directory. I saved the following line to an .htaccess file in that directory.

deny from all

To use the latest version of PHP I saved the following line to an .htaccess file in my moodle directory.

AddHandler x-mapp-php6 .php

In my moodle directory I renamed config-dist.php to config.php. I inserted the following values onto config.php.

$CFG->dbtype = 'mysqli'; $CFG->dbhost = 'db#########.db.1and1.com'; $CFG->dbname = 'db#########'; $CFG->dbuser = 'dbo#########'; $CFG->dbpass = '#####';

$CFG->wwwroot = 'http://myurl.com/moodle'; $CFG->dataroot = '/homepages/7/d#######/htdocs/moodledata';

(Of course, in your installation you would substitute your own values for the hash marks. Most of the info can be garnered easily from phpMyAdmin.)

Then I started the web installation from http://myurl.com/moodle.
