Something I found out recently when I updated the cakePHP core files, when accessing my 1and1 hosting using ssh I kept getting errors when using the cakePHP console. The problem was caused by the fact that by default 1and1 uses PHP 4 for the command line. This cannot be altered using .htaccess, however after a little googleing I found that using php5 on the command line does as you would expect. So to make your cakePHP console work using PHP 5, all that is needed is a little editing of one file. CORE/console/cake

Change this:

exec php -q ${LIB}cake.php -working "${APP}" "$@"

To this:

exec php5 -q ${LIB}cake.php -working "${APP}" "$@"

All console actions will then be run using PHP 5.
