Installing MongoDB is an easy and short process, but you will need to create the Mongo databases from shell (ssh/putty) and administer them from there as well (VPS or Cloud).
To do that, please follow the steps below:
1. Install the MongoDB repo:
cd /etc/yum.repos.d
2. Create the mongodb.repo file:
nano -w mongodb.repo
3. Paste this code inside:
[mongodb]
name=MongoDB Repo
baseurl=http://downloads-distro.mongodb.org/repo/redhat/os/x86_64/
gpgcheck=0
enabled=1
4. Install MongoDB using Yum:
yum install mongo-10gen mongo-10gen-server
PS: At this point, you should have MongoDB installed on your CentOS + cPanel box.
5. Configure MongoDB to automatically start after reboot:
chkconfig mongod on
6. Start MongoDB:
service mongod start
7. Use the powerful PECL command to install your MongoDB PHP extension:
pecl install mongo
8. Restart Apache to apply changes:
service httpd restart
9. Verify installation with this command:
php -i | grep mongo -i
- If you see the MongoDB extension in the output, then you are all set!
