Instead of copying and pasting my project folder into the htdocs directory I created a new folder with a new name and pasted the project files in it and it is working fine now. I can't seem to be able to access the files if they are in the copied folder

This problem is common on Mac.

Start by creating a new folder in htdocs. Then Copy all your files to the new folder.

Instead of copying/moving the project folder to htdocs. This should work
