Obviously opencart tries to open several files in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/shop (and subfolders), but failed due to missing permission. Either change ownership of shop folder (and all subfolders and files) to an appropriate User (i.e. the User which runs the Apache process, see "User=....." in httpd.conf), or grant full access for all Users in the shop folder and all subfolders (i.e. "sudo chmod -R 0777 ./shop" in a terminal in the htdocs folder).
