LOVD 3.0 - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
LOVD is a web-based software project. Therefore, installation requires a correctly set-up webserver. LOVD is completely based on Open Source software, so obtaining software for the LOVD installation should not be hard. All programs described below are common software, generally installed on any commercial hosting provider. Sometimes a MySQL database is not included (or optional) with an standard account at a hosting provider.
If you don't want to run LOVD on a server but rather want to have it running on your computer, we can recommend the XAMPP package, which installs all needed software on your computer regardless of whether it's Linux, Windows or Mac.
Also, at the time of this writing, we are offering free server space if you need to set up an LOVD.
| LOVD runs on Linux/Unix, Windows and Mac but has been most extensively tested on Linux. Therefore, we recommend using a Linux/Unix server. |

Apache HTTP webserver (Not required, but strongly encouraged)
(Tested with Apache 2.0, 2.2) |
 |
PHP scripting language (version 5.3.0 and up) |
 |
MySQL database (version 4.1.2 and up, InnoDB table type only)
(Mostly tested with MySQL 5.0, 5.1 and 5.5) |
| A properly configured Mail Transfer Agent for sending emails (such as registration information). |
| We recommend the use of SSL, to encrypt the data received and sent by LOVD. |
