Why would you install SimpleSAMLphp version 1.13.2 from source?
Current is 1.15.4, see https://simplesamlphp.org/download

Debian stable has 1.14.11 packages, later dists match SSP current.
Ubtuntu has 1.14.0 in Xenial but I'm not sure they get security
support.

So either use the package provided by your distribution (if they
provide security fixes) or use the latest release from the SSP home
page.

[...]
> *# Now i open the browser and type the url*

In the config above you have not defined a virtual host (hostname,
server name, FQDN, whatever) you have defined an Alias:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/en/mod/mod_alias.html#alias

So you'd have to access your SSP instance at
http://yourserver/simplesaml (provided "yourserver" is the name one
would access any other content on your web server).

If you're testing on your local maschine you could use "localhost" as
server name. That won't allow you to publish anything to anyone,
though.

Thank you peter it is started and showing simplesaml page frontpage_welcome.php. Now one doubt is now I have to configure Identity Provider and Service Provider for that first I have to create different directory like "simplesamlidp" and "simplesamlsp" and my website login page which authenticated by "simplesamlidp" & than redirect to "simplesamlsp" in /var/ .

You don’t “redirect to simplesamlsp in /var/“. This is a protocol based on HTTP. The paths in your server are irrelevant here. Also, you don’t need to have both the IdP and the SP installed in the same machine. Actually, the idea behind SAML is precisely to avoid that.

What are you trying to do? I think you are clearly lacking some basic concepts, so it would be better if you first try to understand what you are doing (or what you want), rather than trying random things and coming here to ask when something does not work (as you expected, at least).

I’m not saying your questions are irrelevant. I’m saying you don’t seem to know what you are doing or what you want. If you don’t read first to know what SAML and SimpleSAMLphp are, and how they can be used, you won’t know what you can do with them. And then that means we can’t help you.

Watching a random video in youtube is not the best source of information. Neither for SimpleSAMLphp nor for any other software. You should always read the documentation for the software you are trying to use, not random videos or blog posts:

https://simplesamlphp.org/docs/stable/

It doesn’t matter if this is the first time you do this or not. You should always go to the original source of information first.

Also, you are playing here with complex protocols and concepts. SAML and SSO are not straightforward. However, you clearly lack basic concepts on how the web works: you can’t type something in the address bar of your web browser and expect it to magically give you a page back. “simplesaml” is not even a valid domain name. You need to start reading there, learn how the web and DNS works, and then move on to more complex matters such as SSO.
