Error message, can't delete installation files and warnings

Post by Flemish Italy » Mon Mar 11, 2013 10:36 am

XAMPP running (green lights & all OK except for security warnings) on Mac OSX 10.5.8

Went from server to XAMPP on localhost via FileZilla.
All downloaded server files are now in a sub folder in the dedicated Mac OSX 'Sites' folder on 'Home'
as suggested by XAMPP as one of two options in their pop-up window after finishing installation.

I just see a blank page after accessing the local URL, XAMPP is suggesting.

:'(
1) Where do I need to put those server files to reflect what's running on my remote server now?
- XAMPP has an htdocs folder but it has only a shortcut in it.
- Mac doesn't allow for creating a new folder inside. (grayed out)
- Joomla! 3.0 screen gives warnings as mentioned in the topic line.
2) Do I need to reïnstall Joomla! 3.0 in XAMPP?
3) Do I need to reïnstall XAMPP all together

Tx 4 helping a newbie who probably did something wrong :-[
