Another week, another monday

[afuna]

It was raining hard earlier, drowning out all other sound. It also drowned my internet, or at least has rendered it unsuitably spotty. (I'm in and I'm out; it's up and it's down)

Kept an eye on the hostage situation via my twitter feed, but studiously avoiding most of the news coverage, otherwise.

Have been working all day. Remembered it was lunch time at around 4pm; did somewhat better when it came to dinner :D (Mostly because the rain had killed my internet by then, so I took that as a sign to take a break)

My brain feels sadly disjointed :( I would like to continue coding, I think, but I will take the weakness of my tools as a sign that I have to stop.

Hmm, again not really in the mood to do anything, including read, or knit. I consider this a somewhat good thing? *g* As long as it doesn't last forever.

ETA: Oh might as well put this here. Too lazy to put up a proper entry elsewhere

I think I've managed to install MogileFS -- maybe? I spent some time today wrestling with the build process. The instructions from the README in cvs/mogilefs didn't work; I'd fix one part, and it would go on to fail at another, until I got completely blocked. I suspect it has something to do with the paths. Messing with DESTDIR got me a bit further than all my previous efforts, but in the end I couldn't figure out how to get the contents of .packlist installed or otherwise handled. At some point, I got a deb from elsewhere, but it complained about a lack of dependencies (libgearman-*, libperlbal-*, lib-aio-perl, etc)

So. Then I realized that there was another build process, one that didn't involve making debs, and I tried that and this one didn't give me any huge error messages. I'll need to figure out how to configure my server to use the mogile, but sometime this week I should be able to set aside time to.

I eventually used the non-deb builder/installer, and with a little more manual tweaking than I would have liked it finally worked. I can provide you my configuration if you want it as a comparison point.

That would be fantastic ♥

Hurm. Now that I look at it, my config isn't that different from what's in the wiki. My /etc/mogilefs looks like:

::::::::::::::
mogilefs.conf
::::::::::::::
trackers = 127.0.0.1:7001
::::::::::::::
mogilefsd.conf
::::::::::::::
daemonize = 1
db_dsn = DBI:mysql:mogilefs
db_user = *mogileuser*
db_pass = *mogilepw*
listen = 127.0.0.1:7001
conf_port = 7001
default_mindevcount = 1
::::::::::::::
mogstored.conf
::::::::::::::
daemonize = 1
httplisten = 127.0.0.1:7500
mgmtlisten = 127.0.0.1:7501
docroot = /var/mogdata
::::::::::::::
mogtool.conf
::::::::::::::
trackers = 127.0.0.1:7001
domain = dreamwidth
class = temp


And my config.pl has
%MOGILEFS_CONFIG = (
hosts => [ '127.0.0.1:7001', ],
domain => 'dreamwidth',
);
$USERPIC_MOGILEFS = 1;
$CAPTCHA_MOGILEFS = 1;


and mogadm class list returns:

$ mogadm class list
domain class mindevcount
-------------------- -------------------- -------------
dreamwidth captcha 2
dreamwidth default 1
dreamwidth temp 2
dreamwidth userpics 3
dreamwidth vgifts 3

I also have an entry in /etc/default and startup scripts in /etc/init.d; dunno if you want/need those.

Thank you <3 Had to do a bit more work (was missing some stuff!) but have confirmed that things work now!

Be aware that mogilefsd goes "OM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM" on memory, so only run it when you need it or watch top occasionally and kill the leaky process every so often

*nod nods* Okay *Will do! Thanks for the tip.
