@tamashebi

I think this might help,

1.Fire your terminal
2. login as root, $ su ……
2. Navigate to www folder, $ cd /var/www
3. And fire this command, $ chmod 777 -R html

Can anybody tell me why this is not possible in GUI? Why? There are a lot of discussions why Linux distros are not so popular like Win or Mac OS. But I think this the answer: it’s not comfortable to use them.

Set the password for root from the terminal or from Single User mode / Mainitanence mode i.e. [runlevel 1 (init 1)]

comment or delete the line from the following file:
/etc/pam.d/gdm

#auth required pam_succeed_if.so user != root quiet

/etc/pam.d/gdm-password

#auth required pam_succeed_if.so user != root quiet

reboot the machine & select other at GUI login. put the login name as root & give the password.
