Cannot edit my config.inc.php file on macOS mojave, dowloaded XAMPP












-1















I have read every question that tried to fix this and none of the solutions have worked. If i try to edit the file using sudo nano config.inc.php i get the following error:




Error writing config.inc.php: Permission denied




This post is pretty much the same issues I'm having, for more info the user has
a more detailed explanation in the comments:
PHPhelp



There was no solution there either, sorry to have to ask another one of these but i've spent 3 hrs no joke trying to fix this.

          On the CMD type:



          chmod 755 config.inc.php
          chown :wheel config.inc.php



          NOTE: If you are not opening the command line on the same folder as your file you will need to map the system to the file
