Replikwando/Installation

Windows Server

Service version of Replikwando, which will backup database in case of hard drive failure in addition to updating inventory on heavytruckparts.net automatically.

-Need SSL keys from Brian

1. Connect to server thru VNC
2. Create Replikwando account on Replikwando Records website

   Update Kungfu to show the new HTP account informatoin

3. Download Replikwando Install pack from tools.isoftdata.com
4. Copy certificates over to %PROGRAMFILES%\Isoft Data Systems\Certificates
5. Edit Replication.ini file
   1. Check sqlyog that the following matches the clients:

      Use frontend to check the username and password (like, not Duff's converter, but the "frontend" thing you can find on File)

      [fromServer]

      Host

      Database

      Username

      Password

      binlogpath - Should be the path to their MySQL 'data' directory

      mysqlbinpath - Should be the path to their MySQL 'bin' directory

   2. Set Username and Password for [toDatabase] with same account info setup on Replikwando Records

      Use Frontend to convert pass to hash

      Add "Z" in front of hash

   3. Set database = product code (Company product code can be found in their companyinfo table. If one doesn't exist there, you can create a new one when you create their account.)
   4. [ssl]

      Set path = path to the folder where the SSL Certificates are stored

      Set prefix = company name

      Copy company name from certs, everything before -cert

      Ex. for ABC-Company-cert prefix=ABC-Company

   5. [heartbeat]

      Set the Process ID (for heartbeat) to the company's product code

   6. Set use_compression=True if the connection uses the internet, False if it's on the local network (or same machine)
6. Edit my.ini file (default location %PROGRAMFILES%\MySQL\MySQL server 5.1\my.ini)
   1. Add the following under [mysqld]:

      log-bin

      expire-logs-days=10

7. Stop and Start the MySQL service

   Either

   1. Restart service in control panel -> Admin tools -> services
   2. in command prompt:

      net stop mysql

      net start mysql

8. Set up Task Schedule to run Replikwando once after business hours.

   Only need to set up schedule if installing during business hours so that you don't lock up clients database

9. Tell Brian user and Product code so he can set up triggers on HTP.net

• Note: Replikwando will lock up the entire database during the initial push, so it may be a good idea to run it at the end of the work day.

Linux Sever

Replikwando on Linux using Wine

1. Connect to the customer's server using sftp (it's a *nix app, may need to install Cygwin-X)

   Do `put “Replikwando with Wine.tar.gz” .` to put the install files on their server

   You can also put the customer's key and cert now, as well

2. Connect to the customer's server using SSH/putty

   Extract the files using `tar -zxf “Repikwando with Wine.tar.gz”`

   If that fails, use `gunzip “Replikwando with Wine.tar.gz”`, `tar -xf “Replikwando with Wine.tar”

3. You will now have two new files in your directory, replikwando_install.sh and ISoft/*

   Type ./replikwando_install.sh

   Depending on the system configuration, several prompts may show up. Just read them and follow what they tell you to do.

   The script will tell you when it is done running.

4. Navigate to ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Replikwando

   This directory will contain the error logs, sqlite file, and so on.

   Put in the required values for replication.ini (see above)

5. Type ~/replikwando_startup.sh to start Replikwando for the first time.

   Confirm that Replikwando is running correctly using the error logs here

   Type `vi <filename>` to open the file in an editor to read it. Type :q<enter> to quit.

6. To connect to the mysql server, type `mysql -utestuser -hlocalhost -p`

   You'll have to type a 'use <database>' command before running queries

7. Once Replikwando is confirmed running, type `sudo vi /etc/rc.local` and place the following lines just above the last line that says 'exit 0':
8. start replikwando
9. sudo -H -u isoft /home/isoft/replikwando_startup.sh
10. Done!

• Some quick tips:
  

Quick linux commands:

ls : shows you what is in the directory

sudo : lets you run powerful & dangerous commands (requires password)

cd : change directory

rm : deletes a file (use rm -r to delete a folder)

deletes cannot be undone!

You can't open Replikwando's UI to see if it's pushing data, so you have to rely on the error logs and test database changes.

All normal Replikwando caveats apply (initial push db lock, query error logs, so on so forth)

After the initial push, be sure to copy over functions and stored procedures as necessary, as replikwando doesn't do this automatically.

If you have any additional questions, ask Justin.
