1. Don't define it. If undefined, CloudSync will create and use the .cloudsync directory in the home directory of the user the servlet container runs as. For this to work, the home directory of the servlet container user must exist.
2. Set the value of the CLOUDSYNC_HOME environment variable. If set, the directory will be created and used when CloudSync starts.
3. Set the value of the cloudsync.home system property. If set, the directory will be created and used when CloudSync starts.
4. Modify the war file (unzip it, then zip it again when finished) and modify the cloudsync.properties file in the WEB-INF/classes directory.

Configure Sufficient Memory

It is recommended that you configure your servlet container to allocate at least 128mb of Heap and 128mb of PermGen memory for use by CloudSync when running in a dedicated servlet container. In a shared container, you should find out what these values are set to currently, and increase them by at least 128mb each.

This can be done in a variety of ways, depending on the servlet container. In Tomcat, one way to control it is to set the CATALINA_OPTS environment variable before starting up the container.

For example, in Unix:

export CATALINA_OPTS="-Xms128m -Xmx128m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m"

In Windows:

set CATALINA_OPTS=-Xms128m -Xmx128m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m

Deploy the WAR File

CloudSync is designed to be installed in the servlet container of your choice. It has been tested with Tomcat 6.
