I'm trying to install wordpress on my local server using xampp but I get the following error:
Sorry, but I can’t write the wp-config.php file.
You can create the wp-config.php file manually and paste the following text into it.
Would anyone know how to get around it?
You probably need to set wp-config.php to 644 or 640.
If it's Linux;
sudo chmod 644 wp-config.php
If it's Windows.
Right button on top of file wp-config.php - > Properties - > Security - > Edit - > Add - > Type "All" in the field and give Ok.
The error message says that you do not have write permission on the file wp-config.php .
Adding the Apache group www-data to the permissions group of the www directory:
sudo chown -R root:www-data /var/www/html/wordpress-project
And adding your user to this group already solves your problem:
sudo useradd -g www-data usuario
