This site is about that hamradio logbook with that strange name. LiHaLo.
LiHaLo stands for Linux Ham Logbook, so maybe that name isn't so strange after all !
The components differ a little bit from what most logbooks use.
We decided to go for the tripartite of :
- MySQL
- Apache
- PHP
We will use Mysql as the
DataBase, Apache as
the webserver and PHP as the
HTML-preprocessor.
( PHP is a scripting language that provides a convenient
way of embedding programs in Webpages. Such a page is processed by PHP
before being sent to the client, which allows the script to generate dynamic
content, such as including the result of a MySQL query in the page. You can
also call it an "application engine").
We will be using QRZ.COM and
we also like to use eQSL.cc .
While we were working on this project and talking about it with other friends, we discovered that there was some interest in such a logbook. One of the advantages is that this can work ~ in exactly the same way ~ on every OS : Linux, MAC OS X, Windows .... . And so we made it available as a tar.gz-file on the Web. The latest release is 'RC4', available via DOWNLOAD.
LiHaLo is absolutely free of charge. We think this is the only way a Ham should act when making software .... . Of course it will be all according to open GNU/GPL.
So what do you need and where can you get it?
Of course you need to have a browser. A browser that supports JavaScript. Firefox is fine. An other browser means an other look.
You need to have an Apache server up and running, a
working MySQL - DataBase and PHP must be installed and working.
Is
this a problem ?
Well ..... it all depends .....
I suggest you take
a look at the HOWTO.
