XAMPP permissions on Mac OS X?

by

Tried the above but the option to amend the permission was not available for the htdocs folder,

My solution was:

  1. Open applications folder
  2. Locate XAMPP folder
  3. Right click, get info (as described above)
  4. In pop-up window locate the ‘sharing & permission’ section
  5. Click the ‘locked’ padlock symbol
  6. Enter admin password
  7. Change ‘Everyone’ permissions to read & write
  8. In the get info window still, select the ‘cog’ icon’ drop down option at the very bottom and select ‘Apply to enclosed items’ this will adjust the permission across all sub-folders as well.
  9. Re-lock the padlock symbol
  10. Close the ‘Get Info’ window.

Task complete, this will now allow you to populate sub-folders within the htdocs folder as needed to populate your website(s).
