1. Register an account at http://aws.amazon.com/ it will ask for email address, contact address and credit card details
   
   
2. Got to http://aws.amazon.com/ and select My Account/Console -> AWS Management Console and click "EC2"
   
   
3. Click the "Launch Instance" button
   
   
4. Select "Ubuntu Server 12.04.2 LTS" (or whatever is the latest LTS release) 64 bit version
   
   
5. Select at least an m1.large instance type(Memory optimized image highly recommended)
   
   
6. Under "Configure Security Group" ensure that SSH and HTTP are added, if not present please add them.
   
   
7. After everything is configured properly click "Launch" and select "Create a new key pair", give it a name and click "Download Key Pair" (usage: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ec2-key-pairs.html)
   
   Secure the ".pem" file, because that will be required for logging into the server and click "Launch Instances"
   
   
8. The Instance should be available under the menu "Instances" in the "EC2 Dashboard"
   
   
9. Click on the instance click the "Connect" button from the top, it will show the full ssh command to connect to the machine (ssh -i yourkey.pem ubuntu@yourpublicdns). A Java SSH client is also available from Amazon that can be used directly from the browser. We also recommend Putty for Windows.
   
   
10. Install Omniscope server:
    After logging in with SSH, you can manually install Omniscope, see http://www.visokio.com/kb/linux-installs
    
    
11. Deploy some IOK files to the HTML5 browser version “sharing folder” (webroot) typically at [home]/omniscope-server/mobile/
    
    To access the file system of the server under Windows you can use WinSCP, see: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/putty.html#Transfer_WinSCP
    
    We also recommend using Beyond Compare for Windows which natively supports SCP URLs such as scp://ubuntu@yourpublicdns/
    
    
12. Configuration changes must be made manually in the XML, typically by configuring a separate Windows installation (you’ll need another test key for Omniscope Server) and deploying “C:/Users/username/omniscope-server/config.xml” to the Linux server.
    
    For example, you can configure usernames and passwords, and can enable web-based “file management” (upload, delete etc.).
    
    You can additionally create “folder.xml” files within different sub-folders of the “sharing folder” for folder-specific users and permissions. See “folder.xml.default” automatically created on first start in the sharing folder.

I have a scheduled task and want to set a failure alert email notification. I have found the screen where i need to input the smtp, port, user & password & SSL & message info

I have tried with a few email accounts - one my personal Hotmail, which i have the settings for on my IPhone.

FYI - Although MS Office is installed, but there is no email set-up in a non POP3 or IMAP email client like Outlook Exchange on the server.

All create an error message telling me that cannot connect to SSL and to check antivirus/firewall on the server. I have had infrastructure test the server and cannot find anything on the server that would be preventing this working? (screenshot attached in Word document)

Is there anything i am doing incorrectly, some setting i need to change, is this a known bug in the alpha 2.7 version?

Thanks - Matt Burgess]]>
