Hi,
I hope somebody can help a novice in relation to some issues with installing xampp on a Mac.
I recently installed xampp on a mac OS X machine and it seemed a simple process. However I moved some folders into the /Applications/XAMPP/htdocs. I then tried to open the file from the browser using localhost/folder_name/index.php. The page immediately loaded with the following error:
Warning: Unknown: failed to open stream: Permission denied in Unknown on line 0
Fatal error: Unknown: Failed opening required '/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/folder_name/index.php' (include_path='.:/Applications/xampp/xamppfiles/lib/php:/Applications/xampp/xamppfiles/lib/php/pear') in Unknown on line 0
The files I was attempting to open are exact copies of a programme which is on my webserver (hosted somewhere else). I don't really know is going on here so any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
David
