Not redirecting - hosting provider issue?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Short URL can be created
2. Enter short URL into browser
3. Not re-directed but rather left at the phurl URL shortner page.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Redirected to new URL but left on my host web site

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
v2.4.2

Please provide any additional information below.
My website is hosted in Europe on 1&1. Could the Linux/Apache/PHP settings at 
1&1 be preventing the URL shortening from working? Some 'mod_rewrite' wizardry 
being the problem?

Change in the .htaccess the line:

   RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)$ redirect.php?alias=$1 [L]

To:

   RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)$ name_of_your_directory/redirect.php?alias=$1 [L]

Remove 'RewriteBase /' in .htaccess file.

This issue will be fixed in v3.
