Zend Framework 2 on 1&1

I'm setting up Zend Framework 2 on a 1&1 shared hosting site following the skeleton application tutorial, and I'm having issues with the application module not loading:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Zend\ModuleManager\Exception\RuntimeException' with message
'Module (Application) could not be initialized.' in /homepages/etc/etc/etc/zendskeletonapplication-master/vendor/zendframework/zendframework/library/Zend/ModuleManager/ModuleManager.php:175

I found someone with the same error, but they're only getting it in unit testing, and I'm getting it when loading the site itself. Nonetheless, I've tried changing the module_paths settings as described there but the error doesn't change.

I'm guessing this is some sort of 1&1-specific issue with module loading. To get things this far I've already had to add a .htaccess with these settings (which sets the server to use PHP 5.4.16, despite the mention of "php6"):

AddHandler x-mapp-php6 .php
AddType x-mapp-php6 .php

I don't think this is a 1&1 issue. This issue usually occurs when you have something incorrectly set up in the module.

Check the following files to make sure they exist and are set up correctly. It looks like you are using the skeleton app tutorial so make sure the following files match exactly:

/module/Application/Module.php
