# Accessing a subdirectory

 * I have looked through every thread I can find on this issue and so far nothing
   has worked. Therefore, I am putting up my own problem.
 * I have a site with WordPress 3.2.1 in the root directory. I am trying to get 
   a plugin (Event Espresso’s ticketing addon) that requires the folder /espresso-
   services to be placed in the root directory.
 * The problem is that I cannot access any of the pages in the subdirectory. I even
   created an index.php file with a simple php call echoing Hello and WordPress 
   just gives a 404 error.
 * I have tried many of the different hacks posted in the forums to the .htaccess
   file and nothing has worked. The folder and files all have permissions of 775.
 * Here is the DEFAULT .htaccess file that I have:
 *     ```
       # -FrontPage-
   
       IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti*
   
       <Limit GET POST>
       order deny,allow
       deny from all
       allow from all
       </Limit>
       <Limit PUT DELETE>
       order deny,allow
       deny from all
       </Limit>
       AuthName vancouver.siggraph.org
       AuthUserFile /home/vansig/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.pwd
       AuthGroupFile /home/vansig/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.grp
   
       # BEGIN WordPress
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /
       RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
       </IfModule>
   
       # END WordPress
       ```
   
 * Any thoughts on how I can get these pages to show up?
 * Thanks

 * This has been resolved.
 * Everything works fine, it was a permissions issue. For anyone having a similar
   issue, I had my permissions set to 775, but it actually had to be set to 755.
 * Hope that helps someone.
