Enabling SSL in MAMP

  • Open /Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/httpd.conf, Add the line
LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so
         or uncomment this out if already in the conf file
  • Also add lines to listen on 80, if not there already
Listen 80 
ServerName localhost:80
  • Open /Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/ssl.conf. Remove all lines as well as . Find the line defining SSLCertificateFile and SSLCertificateKeyFile, set it to
SSLCertificateFile /Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/ssl/server.crt SSLCertificateKeyFile /Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/ssl/server.key
  • Create a new folder /Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/ssl. Drop into the terminal and navigate to the new folder
cd /Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/ssl
  • Create a private key, giving a password
openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.key 1024
  • Remove the password
cp server.key server-pw.key openssl rsa -in server-pw.key -out server.key
  • Create a certificate signing request, pressing return for default values
openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr
  • Create a certificate
openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in server.csr -signkey server.key -out server.crt 
  • Add the following virtual host definition in extra/httpd-ssl.conf (or wherever the ssl conf file is)
<VirtualHost localhost:443>
 DocumentRoot /Users/myname/Documents/DevProjects/WebdevProjects ServerName localhost
 SSLEngine on
 SSLCertificateFile /Applications/MAMP/conf/ssl/server.crt SSLCertificateKeyFile /Applications/MAMP/conf/ssl/server.key
</VirtualHost>
  • Make sure we have the server listening in 443 for SSL, in the ssl config file
    Listen 443
  • Restart your server. If you encounter any problems check the system log file. The first time you visit https://localhost/ you will be asked to accept the certificate.

Learning Spark Streaming #1

I have been doing a lot of Spark in the past few months, and of late, have taken a keen interest in Spark Streaming . In a series of posts, I intend to cover a lot of details about Spark streaming and even other stream processing systems in general, either presenting technical arguments/critiques, with any micro benchmarks as needed. Some high level description of Spark Streaming (as of 1.4),  most of which you can find in the programming guide .  At a high level, Spark streaming is simply a spark job run on very small increments of input data (i.e micro batch), every 't' seconds, where t can be as low as 1 second. As with any stream processing system, there are three big aspects to the framework itself. Ingesting the data streams : This is accomplished via DStreams, which you can think of effectively as a thin wrapper around an input source such as Kafka/HDFS which knows how to read the next N entries from the input. The receiver based approach is a little compl

Setting up Hadoop/YARN/Spark/Hive on Mac OSX El Capitan

If you are like me, who loves to have everything you are developing against working locally in a mini-integration environment, read on Here, we attempt to get some pretty heavy-weight stuff working locally on your mac, namely Hadoop (Hadoop2/HDFS) YARN (So you can submit MR jobs) Spark (We will illustrate with Spark Shell, but should work on YARN mode as well) Hive (So we can create some tables and play with it)  We will use the latest stable Cloudera distribution, and work off the jars. Most of the methodology is borrowed from here , we just link the four pieces together nicely in this blog.  Download Stuff First off all, make sure you have Java 7/8 installed, with JAVA_HOME variable setup to point to the correct location. You have to download the CDH tarballs for Hadoop, Zookeeper, Hive from the tarball page (CDH 5.4.x page ) and untar them under a folder (refered to as CDH_HOME going forward) as hadoop, zookeeper $ ls $HOME /bin/cdh/5.4.7 hadoop

Thoughts On Adding Spatial Indexing to Voldemort

This weekend, I set out to explore something that has always been a daemon running at the back of my head. What would it mean to add Spatial Indexing support to Voldemort , given that Voldemort supports a pluggable storage layer.. Would it fit well with the existing Voldemort server architecture? Or would it create a frankenstein freak show where two systems essentially exist side by side under one codebase... Let's explore.. Basic Idea The 50000 ft blueprint goes like this. Implement a new Storage Engine on top Postgres sql (Sorry innoDB, you don't have true spatial indexes yet and Postgres is kick ass) Implement a new smart partitioning layer that maps a given geolocation to a subset of servers in the cluster (There are a few ways to do this. But this needs to be done to get an efficient solution. I don't believe in naive spraying of results to all servers) Support "geolocation" as a new standard key serializer type in Voldemort. The values will sti
