That's what TYPO3 is all about! :)

Hm, that's a shame. Did you google for

Actually, the first name should be your CLI user (rowild?) so that the
init-script ("flow3") can do the stuff you want it to do. Second and
third are the username and the corresponding usergroup the webserver
belongs to (i thought they both were called "_www" but maybe i'm
confusing something) so that the webserver may read and write stuff.
But i'm not telling something new, am i?

As a quick-and-dirty workaround, you could use "chmod -R 777
<F3_PATH>" to continue with your main aim: Playing around with FLOW3.
But keep in mind that it is a bullshitty way to configure a server!

Don't know of a permission file. What d'you mean? Generally, the XAMPP
stuff is just a facade for the infrastructure stuff (apache, mysql,
..) and starts/stops it in the configured way.

Yeah i know it, but i kept in mind that its software is rather old and
that it's shareware. Dunno, just try it out and stick to it if it fits
your needs.

I won't discourage this since you learn a lot and have the ultimate
freedom for your webserver configuration but it really is the hard way
and i mainly took it because it was annoying to automatically spawn
new vhosts with it and because of some other reasons. Keep in mind
that you initially wanted to try out FLOW3, so don't fight too many
battles at once. I'm speaking by experience. :)

Thanks, you too.
