Why are you unable to create the directories you want? Please post error messages or any other relevant information, because it's hard to help you otherwise.

You need to be root in order to create directories and files in /opt. You can create directories by starting a terminal and then using the mkdir command e.g.

Code:

mkdir /opt/lampp/htdocs/somedir

I you want to run AMP on Fedora, also consider using the apache, php and mysql packages shipped by the distro. This guide may prove useful.

thanks for the solution

with this i created the directory
mkdir /opt/lampp/htdocs/somedirname

after that i used the following one to change the permission
chown -hR username /opt/lampp/htdocs/somedirname

now everything works fine
