Unable to edit config.inc.php in the phpmyadmin configuration I'm trying to edit a file on my mac. The file is config.inc.php of XAMPP located in /opt/lampp/phpmyadmin. 

Permission of the folder and file:

Phpmyadmin -> drwxr-xr-x 12 root wheel 4096

Config.inc.php -> -rw-r--r-- 1 daemon daemon 5109 config.inc.php

I tried to open file with: sudo nano config.inc.php but it doesn't change it because it says i don't have permission to do it.

To changing the privileges with: sudo chmod 777 config.inc.php, but it doesn't make me modify it.

To reset privileges of the computer and create a new administrator User, but he doesn't want to know about changing the permissions.

I'm freaking out can anyone help me out?

Here a screenshot of the Terminal error:
XAMPP-VM runs within a Linux VM, so you can't access the config files directly within the macOS filesystem. To access the VM either open Terminal from the XMPP launcher



or run

ssh -i ~/.bitnami/stackman/machines/xampp/ssh/id_rsa -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no root@192.168.64.2


By default the XAMPP VM doesn't include any editor at all so you need to install one using apt-get:

apt-get update
apt-get install nano


Afterwards you can run nano /opt/lampp/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php to edit the file.
