Thank you very much !!! Michael Wales

Now everything is perfectly working after setting the permission
command I used chmod -R 777 /var/www/springboard
Earlier I used GUI mode to set the permission. I am setting the permission in wrong way. I have set the permission to the folders for /var/www/ and var/www/springboard but these permissions are not getting set to the internal folders and files. But my colleague had helped me out for these commands as she is on leave I could not get her help.
