XAMPP permissions on Mac OS X

Question

I installed XAMPP 1 7 3 on Mac OS X 10 6 8 without changing any defaults     The webserver seems to work okay  but the permissions on the htdocs directory are set to  Read only  for everyone other than system   So  a  I have to provide root password every time I copy in web content  and  more problematic   b  NetBeans says it can t create a target directory  and doesn t even generate the index php file in the source directory   Do I just need to manually change permissions on the htdocs directory  or is there some more global XAMPP setting that should be changed   Running NetBeans as root seems a bit extreme
