MongoDB GUI Tool: Rock Mongo

Since we have been working lately with mongo I started looking for tools for administration and management of mongo additional to the CLI client.

Looking around I've found this nice GUI tool for managing MongoDB called RockMongo.


If  you don't have php installed you may need to install it and add the mongo plugin for php:

#Install PHP
yum install php php-devel php-pear

#Install the CPP compiler
yum install gcc

#Install the mongo extension on PHP
pecl install mongo

Then you need to enable php on your apache server. Edit the httpd.conf file

Below the following lines:

AddType application/x-compress .Z
AddType application/x-gzip .gz .tgz

Add: 
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

Then enable the mongo extension. Edit  the php.ini file

On section Dynamic Extensions add the following line:
extension=mongo.so

Now enable the Apache server to user network connections to the database: 
setsebool httpd_can_network_connect 1
setsebool httpd_can_network_connect_db 1

And to finalize restart your servers: 
#restart Apache
httpd restart

#restart MongoDB
mongod restart

And voilà!
You should have your Rock Mongo Rockin'

Update:
Ejem! I think I forgot something. Deploying the application on your apache! For this I will quote them directly:


Quick Install
  1. download the package
  2. unzip the files to your disk, under root of your site
  3. open the config.php (index.php before v1.0.5) with your convenient editor, change host, port, admins and so on to yours
  4. visit the index.php in your browser, for example: http://localhost/rockmongo/index.php
  5. Login with admin username and password, which is set "admin" and "admin" as default
  6. play with your MongoDBs!


Note: this configuration was done on a CentOS 6 machine

RabbitMQ first reactions

Image
As promised this is the first note about stuff we are working on our current project. Based on the nature of our system an asynchronous type of solution is needed. Having worked previously with some JMS solutions for example SonicMQ the words Messages and Queues was stuck on my mind right away when the project began.  OK, then if you remember my previous post I mentioned this is a "start-up" like project so we have to keep it cheap and OSS is the way to go. As consequence my first impression was hey! HornetQ its SUPER fast! 8.2Million messages per second. Lets try that!  So my colleague starts doing the first tests and after a while we begin realizing that its maybe too big of a rocket to shoot a fly and not so friendly to start with. Meanwhile I immerse myself in pages blogs and forums and the term Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP) pokes on my eyes together with RabbitMQ  which looks like the cool new kid on the messaging industry. So...

Start-up

After quite a few busy weeks I'm finally back to the blog. The reason for such absence was the change to a new job. And meant a more profound change than just switching jobs and let me explain what I mean with this by listing what has changed: From following to leading From guidelines to freeform From legacy to state-of-the-art From the consultancy world to the entrepreneur world And the last one pretty much sums it up... I recently left the consultancy world to join a "backed-up" start-up company on a moment where many may think it was a very risky moment to do so. Leaving from a established consultancy company to recently created one doesn't seem like something most people would do on times of financial crisis but to me it was worth the risk by believing that crisis times are those times where opportunities open to those few people who take it. It gives you the opportunity to reinvent yourself and to do something new or something better and to fill tha...

6 Years later

So yes, it’s been a while again. It's nice to see this blog and my previous post as a time-back machine. 6 years ago before the whole mobility and cloud explosion I began wondering what the future of the online world would be. Back then I had the idea that sooner or later end user Operating Systems would be committed to an intensive diet. And on my opinion looks like I was looking on the right direction. Maybe the already fat ones haven't slimmed down much. But we have a new breed of systems where the main action occurs backstage. On the cloud... yes the buzz word of the moment. The best example of it is the Chrome OS . A system born on a minimalistic approach where the Internet and the online services are the main providers of the potential of the world I imagined 6 years ago. These internet based systems are trying to take our gadgets outside our desks and homes. We have gone already a long way with Androids and iOS's but I believe we haven't yet seen ...
