Well this is the error I'm having with my apache. I changed my apache directory to: /media/marcelo/Arquivos/Google Drive/localhost and this directory has 777 permission. 

Forbidden

The problem of displaying permission error and then the error of not processing php scripts via Apache is apparently caused by some erroneous editing of your or more probably because you have installed something manually or have not got to actually install PHP.

Systems such as Ubuntu and Debian if they are using the official repositories (from apt ) will rarely cause such a problem, presumed either that you installed it manually or that you edited sources.list , of course you also have the possibility have tried to install PHP7 that is not usually in the official repositories.

You mentioned that you used the command apt-get install lampp , I'll be honest, at least in the official repositories such lampp package does not exist, this must be from another source, not being official source so I can not offer you a base answer but I can explain to you how to install Apache + PHP + mysql more commonly in distros based on Ubuntu.

First of all: 

sudo apt-get update

Installing Apache: 

sudo apt-get install apache2

Installing PHP7 and 5.6 

sudo apt-get install php7.1 php5.6 php5.6-mysql php-gettext php5.6-mbstring libapache2-mod-php5.6 libapache2-mod-php7.1

If you want to install only 5.6: 

sudo apt-get install php5.6 php5.6-mysql php-gettext php5.6-mbstring libapache2-mod-php5.6

Or just the 7.1: 

sudo apt-get install php7.1 php7.1-mysql php-gettext php7.1-mbstring libapache2-mod-php7.1

To switch between PHP7.1 and 5.6 use the following commands (if you have both installed):

  • Use PHP 7.1 

    sudo a2dismod php5.6
sudo a2enmod php7.1
sudo service apache2 restart

  • Use PHP 5.6 

    sudo a2dismod php7.1
sudo a2enmod php5.6
sudo service apache2 restart

You do not need to configure anything in Apache, this is done automatically, so just change the permissions of the /etc/www/ (or change owner) folder and then put your php scripts inside this folder.

It's important to note that the php.ini used by Apache changes location depending on the version you are using from php.ini , you can search the location used for a script like this: 

<?php
phpinfo();

The page generated if opened via Apache will tell you the correct location.

Xampp as an alternative

This is all a basic installation, if you want to have something like a panel and some extra tools there is a package called Xampp , but not in the official Ubuntu repositories I), it can be easily installed after downloading the site link

You can use a wget also: 

wget https://www.apachefriends.org/xampp-files/5.6.30/xampp-linux-x64-5.6.30-1-installer.run

And after the download run: 

sudo ./xampp-linux-x64-5.6.30-1-installer.run

If you want to use 7.1 they also have the link
