title: Allowing to access files in hidden directories on Apache server (especially ".well-known" folder)
body: <p>I want to create SSL certificate for my domain via the webroot directory ".well-known/acme-challenge" for verification. I'm using shared hosting and I don't have access to apache configuration files, so I can only use .htaccess file.</p>
  
  <p>Problem is that I can't access files in this folder from browser using address "<strong>my.domain</strong>/.well-known/acme-challenge/<strong>filename</strong>". I'm just getting 404 error, even though I have these files in this directory. </p>
  
  <p>So I want to know, if there's any rule, which I could use in .htaccess file to gain access to hidden directories from browser. If you need more informations let me know.</p>
