To use Wordpress I had had to install Xampp 7.4.6 on my iMac (late 2013) with macOS Mojave 10.14.6.
Unfortunately nothing is running good.
In htdocs I create my folder and in it I installed my Wordpress site. But now I have to delete all the Wordpress files and folders and I can’t do it because of Daemon user!
All the sub folder of my directory are owned by daemon and my user can only read, and it is impossible change the user, neither with terminal
When I discovered that the user to use with ftp in Xampp is "daemon" I thought I had solved: I connect via ftp to that folder and then, via ftp, I should delete it… but my ftp apps (Viper FTP lite and FE File Explorer) cannot connect.
I use this parameter:
host: 1or "localhost" or "ip address displayed in Xampp "General"
port: 80 (or 8080, I tried both) (i.e. the port enable in "network"
ftp protocol: plain ftp
Charset unicode (UTF-()
Transfer Monde: active
User Name: daemon
password: lampp
(I found user and pw in XAMPP-VM Faqs)
… I don’t know… why nothing is working! With my previously Xampp version, I installed five years ago, all was simplest: I found Xampp files and folders in App folder, and I had all the right to create and to delete
ideas to delete the folders or to connect with ftp?
