I have managed to extract information from the support guys at the hosting company here is what they say about the mod_rewrite rules of cake

I think that 1and1 impose some restrictions on mod_rewrite since they are a Mass Hosting environment and I suspect that some of this information is withheld. I also think that they did'nt really look into things although it gives 404 errors, seeing as "webroot" doesn't currently exist. though it does. Has anyone managed to get mod rewrite to work on 1and1 with cakephp or got any suggestions is they a way to make this line (below) narrower / less specific?
