requires Python 2.6
create a virtualized environment using virtualenv
inside the virtualenv environment:
bin/easy_install zopyx_gridfs
Create a server.ini configuration file containing:
[app:zopyx_gridfs] use = egg:zopyx_gridfs reload_templates = true debug_authorization = false debug_notfound = false debug_routematch = false debug_templates = true default_locale_name = en # MongoDB specific configurations mongo_host = localhost mongo_port = 27017 database = test [pipeline:main] pipeline = egg:WebError#evalerror zopyx_gridfs [server:main] use = egg:Paste#http host = 0.0.0.0 port = 6543 # Begin logging configuration [loggers] keys = root [handlers] keys = console [formatters] keys = generic [logger_root] level = INFO handlers = console [handler_console] class = StreamHandler args = (sys.stderr,) level = NOTSET formatter = generic [formatter_generic] format = %(asctime)s %(levelname)-5.5s [%(name)s][%(threadName)s] %(message)sStart the GridFS server using (this will start a HTTP server on localhost:6543):
bin/paster serve server.ini
Usage:
Downloading files
You can access files stored inside GridFS through HTTP:
http://localhost:6543/<collection>/<filename>
where collection refers to collection used by GridFS and filename is the _id used to store the file inside GridFS.
The server will return a 404 response if the requested file could not be found.
Uploading files
For uploading files into a collection you need to use the build-in upload form:
http://localhost:6543/<collection>/upload_form
