MongoDB plugin design.

Stopping MongoDB

Previous page covered starting MongoDB either with or without authentication this page covers stopping MongoDB.

We will require two methods catering for each mode. A user can change the server port and admin name and password these need to be included in our two functions.

Mongo-client

Stopping the server requires access to the Admin database. Mongo's client provides all the functionality and flexibility we require.

Server running mode dictates the command-line format to use in order to shutdown the server:

Note: Server can be closed only from the Admin database admin

No-authentication:

mongo.exe  --port arg --host arg [db address] --eval "db.shutdownServer()"

Authentication:

mongo.exe  --port arg --host arg --username root --password root [db address] --eval "db.shutdownServer()"

Generally defaults are acceptable however host should be explicitly defined W7 issues. User can change port hence is included likewise name and password. Default db appears to be test hence [db address] will be assigned admin.


Note: If you have been following this tutorial you will by now understand the above two lines will have rattled my cage. Like what are the values, lines are to long, how do you test and prove they work.

To clear one point “--host” is not required it is defined in the configuration file. This parameter is assumed not to change.

However if you have allowed a user to change a parameter test it.

No-authentication

To confirm our proposed method of stopping MongoDB works and correct parameters are being passed a small test batch file is required.

Initially we will test with defaults parameters this gives a command line as shown:

mongo.exe  --port 27017 admin --eval "db.shutdownServer()"

Test Batch file

Create a new batch file Run_stop_mongo_no_auth.bat with the following content:

:mode con:cols=65 lines=20
TITLE UNIFORM SERVER - Mongo No Auth
COLOR B0
@echo off
cls
cd ..\bin
mongo.exe  --port 27017 admin --eval "db.shutdownServer()"
pause
EXIT

Test

  • Start server double click on Run_mongo_no_auth.bat
  • Stop server double click on Run_stop_mongo_no_auth.bat
  • Stop server double click on Run_stop_mongo_no_auth.bat

I have explained the sea of errors ignore these.

Result of first stop:

"connecting to" - Confirms connection was made

"server should be down..." - Confirms command executed and server shutdown


Result of second stop:

These two lines confirm a connection cannot be made and server was shutdown by the first stop.

"User Exception 12513:connect failed"

"exception: connect failed"

MongoDB shell version: 1.4.5-pre-
url: admin
connecting to: 127.0.0.1:27017/admin
query failed : admin.$cmd { shutdown: 1.0 }
to: 127.0.0.1:27017
server should be down...
Press any key to continue . . .
MongoDB shell version: 1.4.5-pre-
url: admin

JS Error: Error: couldn't connect: couldn't

User Exception 12513:connect failed
exception: connect failed
Press any key to continue . . .

Test script

Modify batch file Run_stop_mongo_no_auth.bat as shown below

TITLE UNIFORM SERVER - Mongo No Auth
COLOR B0
@echo off
cls
cd ..\..\php
php.exe -c mongo_tutorial_cli.ini ..\mongo_tutorial\a_test\mongo_no_auth.php
pause
EXIT

Create a new test script stop_mongo_no_auth.php with the following content

<?php
chdir(dirname(__FILE__)); // Change wd to this files location
include_once "mongo_db_inc.php";

stop_mongo_no_auth();

//=== Stopt Mongo No Auth =====================================================
// Stop mongo server. Uses uniserv.exe to detatch hidden process

function stop_mongo_no_auth(){
  $port = get_mongo_port_no_auth();         // Get port from config
  $return_wd = getcwd();                    // Save current wd 
  chdir(MONGO_BIN);                         // Change wd to Mongo Bin

  // Build command line
  $cmd1 = "start ".UNISERV_EXE_B." \"";
  $cmd2 = "mongo.exe ";
  $cmd3 = "--port $port ";
  $cmd4 = 'admin --eval \"db.shutdownServer()\"';
  $cmd5 = "\"";
  $cmd=$cmd1.$cmd2.$cmd3.$cmd4.$cmd5;
  //print $cmd; // Test code

  exec($cmd,$dummy,$return);    // Run command 
  chdir($return_wd);            // Restore original wd
}
//================================================== END Stop Mongo No Auth ===

?>

Note 1: We obtain port directly from configuration file

Test:

  • Run Server (Double click on Run_mongo_no_auth.bat)
  • Open Windows Task Manger - Check mongod.exe is listed
  • Run "Run_stop_mongo_no_auth.bat"
  • Open Windows Task Manger - Check mongod.exe is no longer listed

Confirmed:

With the above confirmed cut and copy function to mongo_db_inc.php

Authentication

To confirm our proposed method of stopping MongoDB works and correct parameters are being passed a small test batch file is required.

Initially we will test with defaults parameters this gives a command line as shown:

mongo.exe  --port 27017 --username root --password root admin --eval "db.shutdownServer()"

Test batch file

Create a new batch file Run_stop_mongo_auth.bat with the following content:

:mode con:cols=65 lines=20
TITLE UNIFORM SERVER - Mongo No Auth
COLOR B0
@echo off
cls
cd ..\bin
mongo.exe  --port 27017 --username root --password root admin --eval "db.shutdownServer()"
pause
EXIT

Create Admin user

Create Amin User

  • Start server (Double click Run_mongo_no_auth.bat)
  • Run client (Double click Run_client.bat)
  • Enetr: use admin
  • Enter: db.addUser("root", "root")
  • Enter: exit
MongoDB shell version: 1.4.5-pre-
url: test
connecting to: test
type "exit" to exit
type "help" for help
> use admin
switched to db admin
> db.addUser("root", "root")
{
        "user" : "root",
        "readOnly" : false,
        "pwd" : "2a8025f0885adad5a8ce0044070032b3"
}
> exit
bye
Press any key to continue . . .

Test

Quick check

  • Run "Run_stop_mongo_auth.bat"
  • Open Windows Task Manger - Check mongod.exe is no longer listed

Complete check

  • Run Server (Double click on Run_mongo_auth.bat)
  • Open Windows Task Manger - Check mongod.exe is listed
  • Run "Run_stop_mongo_no_auth.bat"
  • Open Windows Task Manger - Check mongod.exe is listed
  • Run "Run_stop_mongo_auth.bat"
  • Open Windows Task Manger - Check mongod.exe is no longer listed

Above test confirms only a authenticated user in Admin is allowed to shutdown server.

Test script

Modify batch file Run_stop_mongo_auth.bat as shown below

:mode con:cols=65 lines=20
TITLE UNIFORM SERVER - Mongo Auth
COLOR B0
@echo off
cls
cd ..\..\php
php.exe -c php-cli.ini ..\mongo\a_test\stop_mongo_auth.php
pause
EXIT

Create a new test script stop_mongo_auth.php with the following content

<?php
chdir(dirname(__FILE__)); // Change wd to this files location
include_once "mongo_db_inc.php";

stop_mongo_auth();

//=== Stop Mongo Auth ========================================================
// Stop mongo server. Uses uniserv.exe to detatch hidden process

function stop_mongo_auth(){
  $port = get_mongo_port_auth();       // Get port from config
  $a_pwd_array = get_name_pwd_array(); // Get Admin name and password from file
  $name = $a_pwd_array[0];             // Set name 
  $password =  $a_pwd_array[1];        // Set password

  $return_wd = getcwd();               // Save current wd 
  chdir(MONGO_BIN);                    // Change wd to Mongo Bin

  // Build command line
  $cmd1 = "start ".UNISERV_EXE_B." \"";
  $cmd2 = "mongo.exe ";
  $cmd3 = "--port $port ";
  $cmd4 = "--username $name ";
  $cmd5 = "--password $password ";
  $cmd6 = 'admin --eval \"db.shutdownServer()\"';
  $cmd7 = "\"";
  $cmd=$cmd1.$cmd2.$cmd3.$cmd4.$cmd5.$cmd6.$cmd7;
  //print $cmd; // Test code

  exec($cmd,$dummy,$return);    // Run command 
  chdir($return_wd);            // Restore original wd
}
//===================================================== END Stop Mongo Auth ===
?>

Test

Repeat these tests:

  • Run Server (Double click on Run_mongo_auth.bat)
  • Open Windows Task Manger - Check mongod.exe is listed
  • Run "Run_stop_mongo_no_auth.bat"
  • Open Windows Task Manger - Check mongod.exe is listed
  • Run "Run_stop_mongo_auth.bat"
  • Open Windows Task Manger - Check mongod.exe is no longer listed

With the above confirmed cut and copy function to mongo_db_inc.php

Summary

Our basic components (functions) now contain support for stopping Mongo server with or without authentication.

To set a name and password we ran Mongo’s client using batch file Run_client.bat this effectively runs the client directly.

Our main application requires client to be run in either of the two modes using PHP CLI functions covered on next page.
