 * By default my /wp-content/ and subdirectories are set to 755, but I get the following
   error:
 * You don’t have permission to access /themify/wp-content/cache/page_enhanced/library2.
   gc.cuny.edu///_index.html_gzip on this server.
 * So I set to:
    sudo chmod 777 -R wp-content/
 * and still get that error.
 * I saw this:
    [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/403-message-on-indexhtmlgz?replies=1](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/403-message-on-indexhtmlgz?replies=1)
   but no htaccess restrictions on my development server.
 * Any ideas?

 * Now it works, but interestingly the plugin (not handmade) included an .htaccess
   file in /wp-content/cache/ with the following defined:
 * deny from all
 * I deleted that.
 * However, before I place into production, I need to understand why would the plugin
   include or generate such a restrictive rule?
