XAMPP permission denied on all conf files – Apache

I want to make some changes to the apache conf file in my xampp application. However, I seem to be unable to alter permissions on the conf files in any way. I only seem to be able to access the conf whenever I mount, but can get permission over the files in any way.

Im running the lates XAMPP version 7.3.2 / PHP 7.3.2 on macOS.

Any ideas?

    As I thought, I made a stupid mistake, I installed the XAMPP-VM instead of the normal installation. Switching to non VM obviously fixed it.

    I would suggest following method. (Not to compromise the security too much.)

    1. Open Terminal in XAMPP VM
    2. Go to the etc folder

    cd /opt/lampp/etc

    1. Change the permission on the conf file.

    chmod 777 https.conf

    1. Explore the mounted volume
    2. Open "https.conf" file with any editor you prefer and modify the content.
    3. Change the permission back on the conf file.

    chmod 644 https.conf
