I haven't used Xampp for a number of years and Apple has defeated me in many contexts with the increased permission requirements in the recent Mac systems. I seem to be getting defeated now trying to get access to my site files using Apache in XAMPP.
I'm using the standard install of XAMPP not XAMPP-vm.
First, both the Apache server and the mysql server boot perfectly.
I have XAMPP set up with a symlink in the htdocs file pointing to my site files.
In http.conf i have set: "Options Indexes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI Includes".
When I try to preview (run) any file in my site directory, I get "You don't have permission to access the requested object. It is either read-protected or not readable by the server."
The files open but they won't run.
I even tried copying my site files into the htdocs file to make sure there isn't an issue with the simlink.
I have set my site folders and internal files using "command + i" to read and write. I did the same with the htdocs file.
What am I missing?
Looking forward to being able to use XAMPP again with your help.
Thanks,
