* 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.

h3. Server Prerequisites
133
134
To make ampli-sync server work you need:
135
* Apache Tomcat 8.
136
* Java
137
* Linux/Windows environment. 
138
139 9 Tomek Dziemidowicz
h3. Manual
140
141 14 Tomek Dziemidowicz
Steps needed to install AMPLI-SYNC manually on Ubuntu.
142
143 15 Tomek Dziemidowicz
# Install Tomcat on Ubuntu:
144 14 Tomek Dziemidowicz
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-apache-tomcat-8-on-ubuntu-16-04
145
# Create new user
146
<pre>
147
sudo adduser amplisync
148
</pre>
149
System will ask you for password for newly created user.
150
# Add user to group ‘tomcat’
151
<pre>
152
sudo usermod -a -G tomcat amplisync
153
</pre>
154
# Chang in web.xml path variable to 
155
<pre>
156
\home/sqlitesync/demo
157
</pre>
158
# Install new application in Tomcat. Start with switching to amplisync user.
159
<pre>
160
su amplisync
161
</pre>
162
# Create new folder /home/sqlitesync/demo
163 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.
164 17 Tomek Dziemidowicz
# Restart Tomcat:
165 14 Tomek Dziemidowicz
<pre>
166
service tomcat restart
167
</pre>
168
Now you can access your installation using link:
169
<pre>
170
http://your_ip:8080/amplisync-app-name/API3
171
</pre>
172
# Setup permissions:
173
<pre>
174
chown -R sqlitesync:tomcat /home/amplisync/demo/
175
</pre>

h3. Configuring AMPLI-SYNC service
180 19 Tomek Dziemidowicz
181
First you need to adjust website configuration file (web.xml), then you need to change main configuration file (sync.properties).
182
*Service configuration (web.xml)*
183
Go to your_webapps_folder/SqliteSync/WEB-INF/web.xml and open for edit. Navigate to section:
184
<pre><code class="xml">
185
<env-entry>
186
<env-entry-name>working-dir</env-entry-name>
187
<env-entry-type>java.lang.String</env-entry-type>
188
<env-entry-value>/your/working/dir/sqlite-sync/</env-entry-value>
189
</env-entry>
190
</code></pre>
191
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:
192
<pre>
193
\working_dir\config\sync.properties
194
</pre>
195
*IMPORTANT* Restart service after changing web.xml. Make sure that Tomcat has read/write access to working dir.
196
Sample configurations for MySQL server
197
<pre>
198
DB_ENGINE = mysql
199
DBURL = jdbc:mysql://server:3306/dbname?rewriteBatchedStatements=true
200
DBUSER = user
201
DBPASS = pass
202
DBDRIVER = com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver
203
DATE_FORMAT = yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss
204
HISTORY_DAYS = 7
205
LOG_LEVEL = 4
206
</pre>
207
If you faced a timezone error after configuration in `sync.properties` add at the end of connection string:
208
<pre>
209
&useUnicode=true&useJDBCCompliantTimezoneShift=true&useLegacyDatetimeCode=false&serverTimezone=UTC
210
</pre>
211
*Keys explanation*
212 21 Tomek Dziemidowicz
*DB_ENGINE* - type of database engine. Available options:
213
* mysql
214
* mssql
215
* postgresql
216
* oracle
217
218 19 Tomek Dziemidowicz
*LOG_LEVEL* - defain details level for log
219
> 4: TRACE, DEBUG, INFO, WARN; (default)
220
> 3: DEBUG, INFO, WARN; 
221
> 2: INFO,WARN; 
222
> 1: WARN; 
223
> 0 - disable logs
224
*DATE_FORMAT* - set format of date 
225
default format: yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss 
226
*HISTORY_DAYS* - How long files with sync data will be kept
227
default value: 7
228
When you use MySQL database DO NOT remove from the end of the connection string:
229
<pre>
230
?rewriteBatchedStatements=true
