kgriffs 69c5ec1b93 doc(README): Have the user pass '-v' when starting marconi-server 
Users sometimes get confused when maconi-server doesn't print out anything
about which IP and port it is listening on. Recommend passing '-v' so they
learn this trick right off the bat.

Marconi

Message queuing service for OpenStack

Running a local Marconi server with MongoDB

Note: These instructions are for running a local instance of Marconi and not all of these steps are required. It is assumed you have MongoDB installed and running.

  1. From your home folder create the ~/.marconi folder and clone the repo:

    $ cd
$ mkdir .marconi
$ git clone https://github.com/openstack/marconi.git

  2. Copy the Marconi config files to the directory ~/.marconi:

    $ cp marconi/etc/marconi.conf-sample ~/.marconi/marconi.conf
$ cp marconi/etc/logging.conf-sample ~/.marconi/logging.conf

  3. Find the [drivers:storage:mongodb] section in ~/.marconi/marconi.conf and modify the URI to point to your local mongod instance:

    uri = mongodb://$MONGODB_HOST:$MONGODB_PORT

  4. For logging, find the [DEFAULT] section in ~/.marconi/marconi.conf and modify as desired:

    log_file = server.log

  5. Change directories back to your local copy of the repo:

    $ cd marconi

  6. Run the following so you can see the results of any changes you make to the code without having to reinstall the package each time:

    $ pip install -e .

  7. Start the Marconi server with logging level set to INFO so you can see the port on which the server is listening:

    $ marconi-server -v

  8. Test out that Marconi is working by creating a queue:

    $ curl -i -X PUT http://127.0.0.1:8888/v1/queues/samplequeue -H
"Content-type: application/json" -d '{"metadata": "Sample Queue"}'

You should get an HTTP 201 along with some headers that will look similar to this:

HTTP/1.0 201 Created
Date: Fri, 25 Oct 2013 15:34:37 GMT
Server: WSGIServer/0.1 Python/2.7.3
