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 comp...

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 ...

Creating arbitrary grid layouts in HTML/CSS

I love building websites. But, the long arduous efforts to get page layouts done, scare me. So started experimenting with ways to create arbitrary grid layouts, so I can write a layout manager someday , to take care of this business for me. I refer the reader to this excellent post on "What does width:100% do in CSS"  to get a feel for block elements vs inline elements. To summarize, block elements generate a newline before and after them, but setting their width to something takes effect absolutely, i.e whether or not there is enough content inside the element to fill up the space. This is much like "fill_parent" in the android world. Inline elements are the opposite. They don't have the newline , but by default they expand only as much as their content, like "wrap_content" in android world. However, what we need is a container that would behave as a block element, housing child elements that will be laid out horizontally, as well as vertica...
