Installation on Windows Server (WAMP) - magicbug/Cloudlog GitHub Wiki

You can install Cloudlog on a windows PC acting as a server. I use my remote shack pc that is always running.

First step: Download and Install WAMP: There is a lot of tutorials on Internet, such as https://www.developerdrive.com/installing-and-configuring-a-wamp-server-on-your-computer/. After WAMP installation, you are going to have a "WAMP" folder in your server hard-drive and inside this one another folder called "WWW" when there is normally one folder per host. If you only want Cloudlog in your server, you are going to have a folder inside www, I use to name it "Cloudlog". Therefore, if everything is ok, you are going to have a folder named Cloudlog with this route C:\wamp\www\cloudlog. Inside this folder you will have the cloudlog files and folders (when you finish the second step). Is also necessary to create an empty database in mysql (installed with wamp). Cloudlog will use this database to save all the data displayed in the application. Using the WAMP menu, you can access to phpMyAdmin and create that database.

If you want to access to your cloudlog from everywhere, you need to open port 80 on your router. Look at you router user manual to open it. Also, in that case, you will need to know your network external IP (Public IP) or use a redirection service like no-ip (free) or dyndns (license).

Second step: Download and install Git from http://git-scm.com/download/win as a normal windows software.

Third step: Using Git CMD (command line similar to MS-DOS), move to your c:\wamp\www folder and type:

git clone https://github.com/magicbug/Cloudlog.git

Once is done, you are going to have on your wamp\www folder, a Cloudlog subfolder with all the files.

Now, with your web browser you can complete Cloudlog installation. You need to run the install wizard, opening your-url-to-cloudlog/install using the web browser and follow the instructions. Yo have to fill some data, some of them coming from your mysql database creation. When installation is finished, don't forget to remove or rename the INSTALL folder inside Cloudlog

When you have completed the install wizard, you can open your Cloudlog (typing in your web browser your-ip/cloudlog) using the demo acount (m0abc/demo) and do the following:

  • Create a new admin account (Admin Dropdown) and delete the demo account (m0abc)
  • Update Country Files (Admin Dropdown)
  • Create a station profile (Admin Dropdown) and set it as active (Don't forget it)

When you had finished this steps, you can import your qso's using "ADIF import/export".
