When I try running the "lightningd/lightningd --network=testnet --log-level=debug" after sucessfully starting the Bitcoin server using the "bitcoind -daemon -testnet" ,following issue occurs:

Can anybody please solve my issue and explain me what is exactly happening!

The issue seems to be contained in the error message.

Could not locate RPC credentials. No authentication cookie could be found, and no rpcpassword is set in the configuration file (/home/lightning/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf)

So, set rpcuser and rpcpassword appropriately in ~/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf.
