If you have installed a module on Xampp (on Linux) via Bitnami and changed chown settings, make sure that the /opt/lampp/apps//htdocs and tmp usergroup is daemon with all other sibling files and folders chowned to the user you installed as, e.g. cd /opt/lampp/apps/, sudo chown -R root:root ., followed by sudo chown -R root:daemon htdocs tmp.
