Symbolic link for lampp isn't working 100%
Note: I'm a beginner in ubuntu
I've been trying for some time to set XAMPP up on my Ubuntu machine so I can develop my PHP projects. I found out that I can't directly modify the htdocs folder because it is located in a protected part of the system. Then I found out that creating a symbolic link of my /home/(user)/Projects inside my /opt/lampp/htdocs folder would solve it. It kinda did, but not totally. The symbolic link does work because lampp can access the files that are in /home/(user)/Projects but it won't read subfolders. I read something about having to change the permissions but I'd rather avoid it for security purposes. Any idea how to make it work?
