I had recently installed Apache, PHP and MySQL in Ubuntu. And copied the files I created to the var/www
directory. But when I open http://localhost
it is showing
Warning: Unknown: failed to open stream: Permission denied in Unknown on line 0
Fatal error: Unknown: Failed opening required '/var/www/index.php'
(include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in Unknown on line 0
How can I run my project normally? It was working fine in windows.
According to this article, you need to give read/execute permissions to Owner, Group, and Everyone.
Set permissions on the problem file to 777. Note, you should avoid doing this on a server that's accessible from the internet.

To fix this problem, look at the line in your ErrorLog, to find out which folder it is trying to access.
If a block already exists for that folder, make sure it is set to allow access as necessary. If not, add a block to your Apache configuration file, allowing access as required. See the example below for folder /usr/local/awstats/htdocs.
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
