This is to note things that deviate from the regular installation instructions.

1and1 has a nice tool which lets you unzip the files on the server. This is much faster than uploading all the files.
So when you download Tiki, get the .zip version
unzip on server via WebspaceExplorer can take 30-40 seconds
You may get something like this:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting '{' in tiki-install.php on line 48
By default, it's still PHP Version 4.4.9 as of 2010-11-06 http://faq.1and1.com/scripting_languages_supported/php/5.html
With the proper .htaccess, it becomes 5.2.6
This will change over time (and perhaps from server to server but at the time of writing) phpMyAdmin is 2.6.4 MySQL: 5.0.91
This is not uncommon. When you are in tiki-install.php, make sure to replace localhost with the value provided by 1and1
With default configuration, file uploads are broken. ref: Understanding Encoding
You can solve by 1- using 5.4 or 6.0 2- apply this patch: http://tikiwiki.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/tikiwiki?view=revision&revision=30000 3- use adodb, instead of pdo as per http://tiki.org/ReleaseNotes5.0#Database_Encoding_Issues
I solved them with this instruction "RewriteBase /" after the "RewriteEngine On" in the .htaccess:
(...) RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / (...)
