    sudo chmod 777 /opt/lamp/htdocs is one way. The other way and better way is to change ownership to your username like so:

    chown username:usergroup -R /opt/lampp/htdocs

    When you install it, you used sudo, which means it’s owned by the root user and only that user has permissions to the file. Either one of those methods should fix it though.
