Hi, on my old windows setup I used a symbolic link to store my htdocs folder in my skydive folder and still work with xampp. I've just bought a macbook and trying to accomplish the same thing but seem to be having problems. I have the htdocs folder in my skydive folder and I've tried creating an alias using mavericks and placing that in the xampp directory and creating a symbolic link using ln -s at terminal but neither work, I just get the following message in "localhost" :
"Access forbidden!
You don't have permission to access the requested directory. There is either no index document or the directory is read-protected.
If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.
Error 403"
I have made sure the source htdocs (in skydive folder) has read and write permissions for everyone and applied to all sub directories but that hasn't seemed to of helped. Any help is appreciated.
