I'm following Kevin Skoglund's "Php using MySQL" tutorials on lynda.com. In the installation he uses sudo a lot to configure stuff and open files. All of this is on the terminal for Macintosh computers. He starts the apache server using sudo apachectl start or restart. He also opens many pages with the nano text editor(which is used in the terminal) and he uses sudo before the majority of the commands. The pages he goes into are things like php.ini.
Before I started his course, I installed php and MySQL in a different way, that caused some problems with the 'socket'(I'm not too familiar with what a socket is). So that's why I had to go to the installation chapter to install everything the sudo way(I'm aware that sudo is more dangerous than smoking at a petrol station).
So now when I go to textmate, it constantly requires my user password to save files and the files in my project drawer glow red. Also, even if I do type my password, it makes the sound that means "YOU CAN NOT DO THIS!". Could you please tell me how to make everything stop requiring passwords? PLEASE HELP! Thanks.
Edit: Ok, when I use ls -la in my php folder, the files come up with "rw-r--r--". Anyone know how to change the permissions?
