I have installed Xampp 7.2.34 from https://www.apachefriends.org in Big Sur. XAMPP htdocs folder is placed in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles directory. Is there anyway that I can change the location of htdocs folder and place all my projects in the new location.

Current Location: /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs

Desired Location: /Users/user/Desktop/Work/PHP/htdocs

I am following this question in Stackoverflow but it seems quite old and I was not able to accomplish what I required.

Already done:

  1. Created new empty htdocs folder on desired location
  2. Changed User daemon to User user in xamppfiles/etc/httpd.conf
  3. Didn't change Group daemon
  4. Changed DocumentRoot "/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs" to DocumentRoot "/Users/user/Desktop/Work/PHP/htdocs" in xamppfiles/etc/httpd.conf
  5. Changed <Directory "/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs"> to <Directory "/Users/user/Desktop/Work/PHP/htdocs"> in xamppfiles/etc/httpd.conf
  6. I also uncommented this line of code Include etc/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf in xamppfiles/etc/httpd.conf

Result:

Access forbidden! error.

What did I miss? Has something changed in these years? TIA.
