However, if you installed the xampp setup via the tar file or if it is anywhere other than your "home" folder belongs to root. What you need tot do to get off the ground is to allow yourself, i.e. the user ownership of the files and have permissions to write and execute them. "./*" means all files in the current directory. By default it mostly doesn't include folders. to change ownership of the folder, <test>, $cd <test> $chown <username> ./* if you want to change this for particular files only then $chown <username> ./<file1> ./<file2> What this does is, it changes the ownership of every file to the username specified.
you can learn more about chown by typiing $man chown Now you own these files, but they may still not be executable, so $chmod +x ./* if you want to change this for particular files only then $chmod +x ./<file1> ./<file2> this changes the permissions of all files on this folder to executable. remember these are very basic permissions and generally frowned upon. These will get you off the ground but like Icarus if you fly in the sun, the wax will melt and you'll plummet to the ground. So I beg you to read the manuals properly and set the file permissions properly. These problems were faced by me and this is how i started by getting past them.
