Can't see installation page on XAMPP - Mac OSX

Abdullah

Hello,
first, I'm sorry the title of this post is wrong, I can't edit it.

if I want to change permissions (to install Automad) I can't change all subfolders at once! although I select "Apply to enclosed items...".

I can see dashboard but If I try to edit anything they said: Permission denied!

OS: Mac OSX
I'm using localhost (XAMPP).

Help plz ?

Abdullah Hi, I think this issue is more related to macOS. Changing permissions recursively should be a simple procedure. It’s difficult to help from a distance without seeing the actual problem.

I know this post is 18 months old, but I was having the same problem (could not figure out how to change permissions for my whole directory on Mac OSX). Finally found the solution on the stackoverflow page on the "getting started" article, however the solution for me was not the one linked to, but the one posted by a Bryan Kimani:

1Under General Tab, in XAMPP app, click Open Terminal
2 A terminal will be launched with something like, root@debian:~#, on the terminal shell
3 on that terminal shell, type, chmod -R 0777 /opt/lampp/htdocs/ and enter
4 Exit, the terminal and you be good to go
