Assuming everything was installed to this path on your distro: "/opt/lampp" and you have a small background in using linux:
Your Html files is here: "/opt/lampp/htdocs"
But due to permission issues you will not be granted write access unless you are logged as root.
If you want to still have write/read access to htdocs as a normal user, just go in a Terminal (bash shell) and SU (that is, switching to root).. then go to your "/opt/lampp/htdocs" folder and "CHMOD 777"
You will then have write access and you can create another folder, for example "forum" and install your scripts there..
This should work, feel free to ask if you any more doubts.
