Installation on Windows Server (WAMP)

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/. Is basically like another windows software, download the installer and run it.

WAMP Download:

WAMP Installation:

After WAMP installation, you are going to have a "WAMP" folder in your server hard-drive and inside this one another folder called "WWW"

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

Running the installer:

Continue the installation clicking "Next" on every window until the end:

Third step: Using Git CMD (command line similar to MS-DOS) to download Cloudlog code:

With a Right-clic over the empty space inside www folder, select "Open Git Bash here":

Type: git clone https://github.com/magicbug/Cloudlog.git and hit Enter:

Once it's done, you can close the Git Bash window.

If everything is ok, you should have a folder named Cloudlog with this route C:\wamp\www\cloudlog. Inside this folder you should have the cloudlog files and folders cloned from github.

Forth step: Create Database and User using MySQL:

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).

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".
