I've been using xampp to develop on windows with success but as recently I decided to make a change and start developing on Linux. I successfully installed xampp onto my linux machine. and the Apache sever is running "localhost". opt/lampp/htdocs is where Apache project resources are stored. the htdocs folder permission is restricting read and write, and i can't create folders and files to start my projects. I tried change permission for the folders but to no success.
How do i start developing on xampp severe and add files to /opt/lampp/htdocs
please advice ! ! !
cd /opt/lampp
sudo chmod 777 -R /opt/lampp/htdocs `
777 is the permission where you,group and other get all permission -R is any changes will affect in subdirectories and directories of subdirectories htdocs. where adding read=4;write=2 and execute=1 makes it 7.
