# [Plugin: W3 Total Cache] Where is pgcache directory?

 * I’m configuring the W3 total cache plugin and looking at the instructions for
   where to add/modify .htaccess files. I have my main .htaccess at the root level
   and was able to find the .htaccess file in the “min” sub-directory. This sub-
   directory was found in:
 * /wordpress/wp-content/plugins/w3-total-cache/wp-content/w3tc
 * What I can’t find is the directory in my install for:
 * /wordpress/wp-content/w3tc/pgcache/.htaccess
 * Not sure if there was a mis-install of the plug-in (i.e., is there supposed to
   be “wp-content” in the directory structure at all) or whether there is a different
   place where the pgcache directory resides. I looked in the other files but didn’t
   see it. Plug-in seems to be working otherwise. Any help would be appreciated.

 * If a directory was not created then you can try and create it using your FTP 
   program.

 * You’ll want to deactivate the plugin and re-install it from the start.
