I just installed XAMPP on Mac OSX.

When I tried to install a theme into a newly created WordPress site, I got this error:

Unable to create directory /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/03. Is its parent directory writable by the server?

Anyone know how to make a directory writable on Mac OSX? version 10.6

Use sudo with Anne's answer if you are still having the problem (As evident from the comment). That should do the trick.

sudo chmod -R 777 /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/
