title: Accessing a subfolder of a Wordpress site
body: <p>So I have a wordpress website installed in the root of my domain and it is up and running fine.  I want to install a shopping cart in a subfolder but it's giving me trouble.  I have a folder called "magento".  In that folder is a filed called downloader.php and index.php.</p>
  
  <p>When I try to access the file, Wordpress was giving me a 404 error like it was thinking I meant it to look for a WP article.
  I tried a different .htaccess file which changed it to a standard 500 error now.</p>
  
  <p>I've googled for this and found tons of people with the same problem, but haven't found a solution that works.  I also checked the permissions and the folder is 777 and I changed the files to 777 as well but it still doesn't work.</p>
  
  <p>The .htaccess file in the root (public_html) file simply shows</p>
  
  <pre><code># BEGIN WordPress
  &lt;IfModule mod_rewrite.c&gt;
  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteBase /wp/
  RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteRule . /wp/index.php [L]
  &lt;/IfModule&gt;
  
  # END WordPress
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I don't know anything about configuring .htaccess files but if anyone has any suggestions on how I can get this to work, that'd be great.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!!</p>
