The "Permission Denied" error usually occurs because the file or folder accessed by XAMPP (such as the htdocs directory) does not have the proper read or write permissions for the user running Apache (typically _www). This often happens when files are created outside of XAMPP or by a different user account, resulting in restricted access rights. |
