  <p>When I enter <code>http://localhost/</code> in the browser, it says </p>
  
  <p><strong>Forbidden</strong></p>
  
  <p>You don't have permission to access /index.html on this server.
  Apache/2.2.22 (Ubuntu) Server at localhost Port 80.<br>
  I am able to create files and folders in var/www folder but I'm unable to execute it from the browser.<br>
  How to fix this issue, please, suggest me? I am new to Ubuntu.</p>
