Can’t install WP, no permission.

    I cannot believe the problems I’m having with WordPress.
    On my laptop I finally got WP installed then lost contact with my localhost phpmyadmin. No problem let’s move to my desktop, install Xampp and try the newly upgraded WP. Guess what? Now I cannot install WP, due I believe to a permission problem.
    I download using terminal and the latest tar.gz but on unzip the files will not copy across, no permission.
    I’m lost and frustrated, again!!
    Anyone have an answer, please.

    Try changing ownership of htdocs folder using following command

    sudo chown -R username:username /opt/lampp/htdocs

    You need to replace username with the logged in user. To determine current logged in username use following command

    who am i

    Use MAMP for windows on your localhost. It’s a much easier software to use. No harm trying. It’s free.
