    Angry Lampp

    I downloaded, extracted, turned on, and tested XAMPP for Linux, but I can't save any files into this folder, so apart from the index.php, I cannot open or save any .php files. I open the properties for htdocs, but I am unable to change the permissions to save in the folder.

    I unlocked the root user, and tried the same thing, but it failed. I tried turning Lampp off, and trying again, and still it failed.

    ANY IDEAS?

    You need to alter permissions to allow you to edit files. That could be as simple as changing ownership of /var/www/ to your account.

    Please be advised that xampp might use a different file structure (as in, it might have installed itself to /opt). Doublecheck.

    Re: Lampp

    Yes, XAMPP is installed to /opt/lampp/

    So, to the OP, you need to set the permissions on /opt/lampp/htdocs to 666 (rw-rw-rw):
    Code:
    sudo chmod -R 666 /opt/lampp/htdocs

    Just paste that code in the terminal and hit enter.

    Edit: I didn't read your whole sentence. Disregard what I said.
