I have my lampp installed in the default `/opt/lampp` directory and the PHP code is in the `htdocs` folder. Now, to edit any of the files I have to use sudo permissions and have to type my password (or use sudo -i) which I do not want to do.

All I want is to know if I can somehow make lampp use the code that is residing in a folder not located under `/opt/lampp/`. I tried giving full path and using a '..' relative path - both did not seem to work.

Or is it okay to do my work in `/opt/lampp/` folder by using sudo all the the time?
