Only issue I have going to hetzner was that magic quotes was enabled even though php.info said other wise had to force the variable off... think it was in the .htaccess file I did that. Other wise sites rocking along there Motorbike adventure.

I am having a similar problem

I am having a similar problem with magic quotes on my hosted server. My site is using Apache, PHP 5.2.11, Drupal7 - and I found a .htaccess file in the root of my drupal site. Inside of that file was this:

# PHP 5, Apache 1 and 2.
<IfModule mod_php5.c>
  php_flag magic_quotes_gpc                 off
  php_flag magic_quotes_sybase              off
  php_flag register_globals                 off
  php_flag session.auto_start               off
  php_value mbstring.http_input             pass
  php_value mbstring.http_output            pass
  php_flag mbstring.encoding_translation    off
</IfModule>

What change did you make to the .htaccess file that allowed it to work correctly for you?
With the exception of adding PEAR PHP plugins, my host does not seem to allow me to change core php configurations. They have things locked down rather tight.

I have been searching for the past week for a solution that wasn't 8-years old (how much code has changed since then..?), but so far I feel like Horton looking for a speck of dust somewhere in a vast field of flowers.

What I did.

Here is the ticket I opened if you need more reading material. http://drupal.org/node/989004

I uploaded my site and forgot to put the darn .htaccess file with that all important line "php_flag magic_quotes_gpc off". But after putting that up it still failed to work on hetzner, I had to dig through their control panel and change the magic quote bugger there.
