Now i have copied and pasted my own web file that i previously had created on windows 7. The gksudo nautilus command did certainly help me to copy that web file into the /opt/lampp/htdocs directory. As now i have my web file in the directory, when i try to access it by browsing it in the browser like localhost/mywebfile it pops out the Access forbidden! error like 

Access forbidden!

You don't have permission to access the requested object. It is either read-protected or not readable by the server.

If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.
Error 403
localhost
Apache/2.4.3 (Unix) OpenSSL/1.0.1c PHP/5.4.7

Also i cannot access that folder that i just copied to the /opt/lampp/htdocs directory. The error says:-

This location could not be displayed. You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of “mywebfiles”.

This is due to a permission problem. To avoid this error change permission as shown.

Just press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, run the command(s) below:

sudo chmod -R 0777 /opt/lampp/htdocs/mywebfile
