Hi,

I've installed Drupal 6.6 for one of my domains on shared hosting provided by 1&1. This site is my first experiment with Drupal. It is for my family and friends. I'd like them to be able to upload photos & videos. View each other's photos & videos and make comments on them. I've already successfully added a video embed by installing a CCK module.

To achieve adding the image upload capability, I have the following modules installed:
ImageAPI - 6.x-1.0
ImageAPI GD2 - 6.x-1.0
ImageAPI ImageMagick - 6.x-1.0
ImageCache - 6.x-1.0 beta2 - disabled because it depends on ImageAPI
ImageCache UI - 6.x-2.0-beta2 - disabled because it depends on ImageAPI

The problem is that the ImageAPI cannot be enabled - description reads, "ImageAPI supporting multiple toolkits.
This module requires PHP version 5.2.* and is incompatible with PHP version 4.4.9."

It appears that my host defaults to using PHP 4.4.9. 1 & 1's FAQ response is to change the PHP version to 5 by adding the following code to the .htacccess file: AddType x-mapp-php5 .php or AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php

I tried this and it did not work to enable the ImageAPI. I'd greatly appreciate any help I can get on this issue.
