I am accessing localhost server using syncgateway. But now I want to use another rest api instead of localhost server .Can I use other server api for CouchbaseLiteSwift? Will replication doe correctly?
I am using CouchbaseLiteSwift 2.6.0
Yes of course, otherwise it would not be very useful. Has something given you the impression that you cannot?
Ok thanks! I am trying to use IBM cloud server database and when I try to access it ,getting following errors continuously.That’s why I was confused.

It looks like for whatever reason either you don’t have the bucket created on that server (likely) or you are using 1.x on that server by mistake (less likely).
Database is present on server with no documents!
I have some basic queries. Please help me into this.
1)I am following format for sync url?is it right?
2)On Mac , what is the location for sync_gateway_config.json? Does it require to update if I want to use IBM Cloud server or any other server?
3)When I try to use online server , do I need to start sync gateway using terminal every time?
wss://your_host:443/todoslist
That’s correct if the Sync Gateway is listening on port 443 and the database/bucket name is todoslist. The port number is specified in the SG config file.
On Mac , what is the location for sync_gateway_config.json?
It can go anywhere. You pass the path of the config file as an argument to sync_gateway.
Does it require to update if I want to use IBM Cloud server or any other server?
The config file has to be on the server, because Sync Gateway is running on the server and it has to read the config file when it starts.
Hey thanks for your reply!! I need more clarification . Do I need to create sync gateway config file or it is already present after installing the sync gateway?. I did’n find the file.But need to clear these things from my side.
For now , I have created sync_gateway_config file to check
{
“log”: [""],
“databases”: {
“db”: {
“server”: “http://ibm_cloud_host:443”,
“bucket”: “default”,
“users”: {
“GUEST”: {“disabled”: false, “admin_channels”: [""] }
}
}
}
}
Executed following command
~/Downloads/couchbase-sync-gateway/bin/sync_gateway sync_gateway_config.json
It is giving me error like:
json
2019-10-04T11:45:26.267+05:30 [ERR] Error reading config file sync_gateway_config.json: open sync_gateway_config.json: no such file or directory – rest.ServerMain() at config.go:1283
Can you explain exact requirements for sync gateway process?
I think you are trying to make it more complicated than it is. The JSON file is passed to sync gateway as an argument on startup. You can do this directly from the command line or you can set up some kind of service / daemon that does it but at the end of the day you start up Sync Gateway by passing in the config file as an argument. The error you show indicates that you passed in a path to a non-existent file.
This is all explained in the Getting Started section of the documentation.
Yes …done with it!! Now I have updated config file
{
“logging.console.log_keys”: [""],
“databases”: {
“to_do_list”: {
“server”: “ibm.cloud:443”,
“bucket”: “to_do_list”,
“username”: “”,
“password”: “”,
“enable_shared_bucket_access”: true,
“import_docs”: true,
“num_index_replicas”: 0,
“users”: {
“GUEST”: { “disabled”: false, “admin_channels”: [""] }
},
“sync”: function (doc, oldDoc) { if (doc.sdk) { channel(doc.sdk); } }
}
}
}
And run the sync gateway config file on server .It is not giving any issues now.But when I try to run iOS app , I am facing same issue

But when I use “log” instead of “logging.console.log_keys” in config file ,I am receiving following issue:
Attempting credential authentication…
Error opening database to_do_list: 502 Unable to connect to Couchbase Server (connection refused). Please ensure it is running and reachable at the configured host and port.
Please ensure Couchbase Server is running and reachable [to Sync Gateway] at the configured host and port.
“server”: “ibm.cloud:443”
That can’t be correct. I ran curl https://ibm.cloud:443 and it just times out.
In a browser, https://ibm.cloud redirects to their home page.
The IBM Cloud home page doesn’t say anything about Couchbase Server that I can see; you do realize that you need Couchbase Server?
Hey the ibm server is reachable at the configured host .The format of the url is as follows:
https://ibm_cloud…:443/to_do_list
The server is not reachable when I use wss instead of https.
But when I try to connect with the server using sync gateway in Xcode , I receive the issue 404 object not found.(On server side I have given permission read & write access to database)
When I disabled read & write access to the database on server side, then I received error as Unauthorized in Xcode logs.
Is there connections established between client & server? Need your inputs on both the points
As Jens indicated, you need a Couchbase server for Sync Gateway to talk to. Is the server property specified in the Sync gateway config file pointing to a valid Couchbase server . You cannot point Sync Gateway to a non-Couchbase server database. So not sure what the IBM cloud server database is …
Why would you think that you could use Sync Gateway with some totally unrelated database from IBM? Does it say anything in our docs about supporting “IBM Cloud”?
Ok…Actually I am new to this .
The IBM Cloudant supports document type database.So I thought to make a try with it.
If sync gateway only supports to Couchbase Server then I need to try with it.
There are probably a thousand types of databases in the world, all different. It’s like saying a file is a “document” — it tells you nothing about what kind of software can read it.
Thank you @jens and @priya.rajagopal for your reply. I have installed Couchbase Server on machine .

This is my sync_gateway_config.json file.After executing this on my terminal.I receive following output.

Any changes required in this file?
What permissions does the user “sync_gateway” RBAC user have on the bucket? You should have configured this on the server when you set up the user
I have given role to the user as “Read-only-admin” .I don’t know how to check pemissions for user “sync_gateway” on the bucket? Please tell me.
And I want to know how can I use this as online server ? Means when no localhost available & sync gateway is not started , how can I operate the app on mobile device ?There will bel no syncing with server & client?
