MogileFS with Postgres

First of all, you need Postgres version 8.2 or newer since mogdbsetup refuses to run with older versions.

Anyways, I spent a quite a bit of time trying to install MogileFS with Postgres. I was getting "Can't create temporary test database:" errors. The answer was in the ~/.cpan/build/mogilefs-server-2.34/blib/lib/MogileFS/Test.pm file. The temp_store subroutine was defaulting to MySQL...

Here is the setup step by step on my Fedora 12:

yum install mogilefsd
yum install mogstored
yum install perl-CPAN // if needed
yum install perl-MogileFS-Client perl-MogileFS-Utils
yum install perl-DBD-Pg
yum install perl-IO-AIO


Setup services.

chkconfig --levels 345 mogilefsd on
chkconfig --levels 345 mogstored on


Setup a test database to be used during compilation.

$ createuser -SRlD mogile
$ createdb -E UTF8 -O mogile tmp_mogiletest


Setup environment variables for testing

$ MOGTEST_DBUSER=mogile
$ MOGTEST_DBHOST=dbhost
$ MOGTEST_DBNAME=tmp_mogiletest
$ MOGTEST_DBTYPE=Postgres
$ export MOGTEST_DBUSER MOGTEST_DBNAME MOGTEST_DBTYPE MOGTEST_DBHOST


Download and install MogileFS::Store::Postgres from CPAN. (This is going to download the whole mogilefs-server package)

$ cpan
cpan> install MogileFS::Store::Postgres


Setup database

template1=# create user mogilefs with encrypted password 'password';
template1=# create database mogilefs with owner=mogilefs encoding='UNICODE';


Run mogdbsetup

mogdbsetup --type=Postgres --dbhost=localhost --dbname=mogilefs --dbuser=mogilefs --dbpass=password


Setup config


db_dsn DBI:Pg:dbname=mogilefs;host=mogilefs-db
db_user mogilefs
db_pass password
conf_port 6001
listener_jobs 5


Start tracker
service mogilefsd start


Update mogstored.conf
httplisten=0.0.0.0:7500
mgmtlisten=0.0.0.0:7501
docroot=/var/mogdata


Define hosts and devices

mogadm host add mogilestorage-1 --ip=127.0.0.1 --port=7500 --status alive
mogadm host list
mogadm device add mogilestorage-1 1
mogadm device add mogilestorage-1 2
mkdir /var/mogdata/dev1
mkdir /var/mogdata/dev2
chown mogstored:mogstored /var/mogdata/dev1/
chown mogstored:mogstored /var/mogdata/dev2/
service mogstored start


Define domains and classes

mogadm domain add domain1
mogadm class add domain1 class1 --mindevcount=2


And don't forget to clean up the test user and database.

Securing Symfony2 REST services with FOSOAuthServerBundle

Overview In my previous article, I wrote about setting up a Symfony2 REST service using FOSRestBundle. However, this REST service was behind a firewall protected by a generic form_login provider. Not really ideal if you wish to open your REST API to other applications. So in this article, I will try to explain how to set up FOSOAuthServerBundle to protect your REST API methods using OAuth2. Before we start getting into the gritty details, it is a good idea to have a look at the official OAuth2 documentation . Let's begin... FOSOAuthServerBundle Installation You have to install v1.1.0 of FOSOAuthServerBundle if you are using Symfony 2.0.x. If not, see the docs . First, add the following entries to your deps file: [FOSOAuthServerBundle] git=git://github.com/FriendsOfSymfony/FOSOAuthServerBundle.git target=bundles/FOS/OAuthServerBundle version=origin/1.1.x [oauth2-php] git=git://github.com/FriendsOfSymfony/oauth2-php.git Run the vendors script to install these...

Unexpected token "name" of value "if" ("end of statement block" expected) in "WebProfilerBundle:Collector:logger.html.twig"

Encountered this WebProfilerBundle error message when I ran the bin/vendors script to update my Symfony2 bundles. Make sure your deps file is up to date; you need to pay special attention to your version values. In this case, update your twig version to v1.2.0 as illustrated below: [twig] git=http://github.com/fabpot/Twig.git version=v1.2.0 Run the vendors script to update your bundle and the error message should disappear. You can get the most up to date deps file from the symfony-standard repository located at: https://github.com/symfony/symfony-standard/blob/master/deps

A Parcelable Tutorial for Android

Parcelable Interface Overview In one of my earlier posts, I mentioned writing an article about FOSOAuthBundle integration with an Android client. To keep that article to the point, I need to explain some concepts beforehand. One of the important concepts is the Android Parcelable interface that allows data to be transferred between different processes/threads. Certain network operations with Android such as authentication with OAuth2 and then fetching data from a REST endpoint should be performed in the background in order not to block the UI thread. This requires data to be fetched by a service (I have opted for Intent Services in my implementation) in the background and then passed back to the calling activity/fragment with a result callback. This is where the Parcelable interface comes into play. Basically, the Parcelable interface allows your classes to be flattened inside a message container called a Parcel to facilitate high performance inter process communication. The rece...
