Using Free Hostia to test the latest version of Drupal 5.x. (using free account)
-I think the htaccess is impossible, getting errors so I deleted it...
-The 'Multibyte string input conversion in PHP is active and must be disabled...' So i paste this code inside the settings.php...

ini_set('mbstring.http_input','pass');
ini_set('mbstring.http_output','pass');

and everything's now working. Except the clean URLS. lol. Can I live without that?

yes you can live without clean urls, however, you may find other serious limitations on a "free" host. They are typically more restricting then a shred host.

If you're using imagecache module.

'Imagecache will not operate properly if Clean URLs is not enabled on your site.'

with freehostia .htaccess WORKS...except the followsymlinks option which you can just comment out.
#Options +FollowSymLinks

like that. Otherwise i dont have problems with freehostia...EXCEPT that their myswl is on another host and thus drupal is kind of slow.
