Xampp - Ubuntu - cant access my project in lampp/htdocs

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17624936/xampp-ubuntu-cant-access-my-project-in-lampp-htdocs

In the linux terminal navigate to your lampp directory.
```
cd /opt/lampp
```
In the command line type:
```
sudo chmod 777 -R htdocs
```

The problem should be solved.

1st Edit:

What you just did was:

You navigated to the directory containing the protected directory. Your problem was that it was a folder that was access protected by your system. When you commanded chmod 777 -R htdocs, what you did was set the permissions for everyone on your computer to read/write/execute - allowed.

Now, you know what each digit means. It says who the number is about. Now each number from 0-7 sets a permission level. I will simply provide you a link for that.

I forgot to add why there is a '-R'. '-R' makes the command recursive and will affect htdocs as well as all subdirectories of htdocs and all subdirectories of those etc.
