# HELP Cannot access WordPress login…

 * Hello all,
 * I’m not sure what version of WordPress I’m running. I am accessing a website 
   from Google Chrome and when I go to the wp-login page (or even the site’s URL
   in general) I receive the taunting and mocking message “Oops! This link appears
   to be broken.” I tried adjusting the .htaccess file to allow all users to read
   or write, which I believe is numerically represented as “666,” but this still
   has not changed my outcome.
 * The thing that throws me a loop is that I can’t even access the login screen 
   for the site. What am I missing? Also, I am fairly new to web design so any info
   or details you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for
   the help!!!
 * Andre E.

 * Where did you install WordPress on your domain?

 * Unfortunately I wasn’t around for the initial setup of WordPress – I just came
   onto the project a week ago or so.
 * There is one FTP hosting the information for several sites. From what I understand,
   the website that I am working on is attached to a particular folder. Within that
   folder is a /wordpress subfolder which contains nothing but another folder named/
   wp-content, which then leads to a chain of folders which lead to /themes/default/
   images

 * Is this site part of a multisite WordPress installation?

 * oh boy… i wouldn’t know… i can say this though, the only folder named WordPress
   is in the location i specified previously, which leads me to believe that is 
   the only location it has been installed
 * should i see component files for wordpress?

 * Yes – two more folders (wp-admin & wp-include) that each hold a number of sub-
   folders and approx 2 dozen files in the root WordPress folder.

 * yikes! well i certainly dont have that
 * ok, so it seems at this point that i dont even have WordPress installed to my
   FTP… but i have been using it… is is possible that WordPress is installed “offshore?”
 * or do i at this point need to reinstall WordPress and start from scratch?

 * > is is possible that WordPress is installed “offshore?”
 * WP can’t be installed elsewhere unless this is part of a multisite network – 
   in which case the core files would be located closer to, or in, the root server
   folder. I think you need to verify exactly what kind of WordPress site has been
   installed before going any further.

 * ok, i think i have found the folder in which the WP content is installed – it
   is installed in a seperate string of folders, so im assuming there is probably
   no connection between the two
 * is it irrational to consider copying and pasting this info into the folder associated
   with the site?
