Adding lamp to kde menu

If you have installed xampp / lampp in linux then you must have observed that there is no launcher shortcut created under kde menu.  You need to launch it manually from command line.  To create a launcher shortcut, here is the procedure.

  1. Right click on kde launcher icon and select “Edit Application”
  2. In the left pane, select one of the category under which you wish to add the shortcut.  for example: Development
  3. Create a new item by selecting “New Item”
  4. In the right page, enter following details:
    • Name: lamp
    • Description: Linux Apache MySQL Php framework
    • Command: /opt/lampp/manager-linux-x64.run
    • Under advanced tab:
      • Run as different user: root
  5. Press ‘Save’ and you are done.

Now you will find the lampp shortcut under kde menu -> Developmenet -> lampp.
