* Devices communicate with server using HTTP/HTTPS protocol. 
19
* Proxy Load Balancer. If necessary, proxy can redirect request to another instance of SQLite-core.
20
* Authorization provider will generate token based on response from authorization provider.

40 12 Tomek Dziemidowicz
* Device places an request.
41
* SQLite-sync server confirms the request has been processed successfully and sends confirmation with eventual conflict list that need to be resolved.

Steps needed to install AMPLI-SYNC manually on Ubuntu.
65
66 15 Tomek Dziemidowicz
# Install Tomcat on Ubuntu:
67 14 Tomek Dziemidowicz
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-apache-tomcat-8-on-ubuntu-16-04
68
# Create new user
69
<pre>
70
sudo adduser amplisync
71
</pre>
72
System will ask you for password for newly created user.
73
# Add user to group ‘tomcat’
74
<pre>
75
sudo usermod -a -G tomcat amplisync
76
</pre>
77
# Chang in web.xml path variable to 
78
<pre>
79
\home/sqlitesync/demo
80
</pre>
81
# Install new application in Tomcat. Start with switching to amplisync user.
82
<pre>
83
su amplisync
84
</pre>
85
# Create new folder /home/sqlitesync/demo
86 16 Tomek Dziemidowicz
# Upload new service amplisync-demo to Tomcat. You can do that using Tomcat application manager, or you can put WAR file in Tomcat webapps folder. Name of your WAR file is app name in Tomcat environment. Remember to not place spaces and special chars in name of your WAR file.
87 17 Tomek Dziemidowicz
# Restart Tomcat:
88 14 Tomek Dziemidowicz
<pre>
89
service tomcat restart
90
</pre>
91
Now you can access your installation using link:
92
<pre>
93
http://your_ip:8080/amplisync-app-name/API3
94
</pre>
95
# Setup permissions:
96
<pre>
97
chown -R sqlitesync:tomcat /home/amplisync/demo/
98
</pre>

h3. Configuring AMPLI-SYNC service
103 19 Tomek Dziemidowicz
104
First you need to adjust website configuration file (web.xml), then you need to change main configuration file (sync.properties).
105
*Service configuration (web.xml)*
106
Go to your_webapps_folder/SqliteSync/WEB-INF/web.xml and open for edit. Navigate to section:
107
<pre><code class="xml">
108
<env-entry>
109
<env-entry-name>working-dir</env-entry-name>
110
<env-entry-type>java.lang.String</env-entry-type>
111
<env-entry-value>/your/working/dir/sqlite-sync/</env-entry-value>
112
</env-entry>
113
</code></pre>
114
change env-entry-value key and point to working dir where SQLite-sync.com server will store log files, temporary files and configuration. Create manually a subfolder named config. Create a text file sync.properties in folder config. The path should look like this:
115
<pre>
116
\working_dir\config\sync.properties
117
</pre>
118
*IMPORTANT* Restart service after changing web.xml. Make sure that Tomcat has read/write access to working dir.
119
Sample configurations for MySQL server
120
<pre>
121
DB_ENGINE = mysql
122
DBURL = jdbc:mysql://server:3306/dbname?rewriteBatchedStatements=true
123
DBUSER = user
124
DBPASS = pass
125
DBDRIVER = com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver
126
DATE_FORMAT = yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss
127
HISTORY_DAYS = 7
128
LOG_LEVEL = 4
129
</pre>
130
If you faced a timezone error after configuration in `sync.properties` add at the end of connection string:
131
<pre>
132
&useUnicode=true&useJDBCCompliantTimezoneShift=true&useLegacyDatetimeCode=false&serverTimezone=UTC
133
</pre>
134
*Keys explanation*
135 21 Tomek Dziemidowicz
*DB_ENGINE* - type of database engine. Available options:
136
* mysql
137

143
> 3: DEBUG, INFO, WARN; 
144
> 2: INFO,WARN; 
145

146
> 0 - disable logs
147
*DATE_FORMAT* - set format of date 
148
default format: yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss 
149
*HISTORY_DAYS* - How long files with sync data will be kept
150
default value: 7
151
When you use MySQL database DO NOT remove from the end of the connection string:
152
<pre>
