Trying to install MongoDB - can't seem to find mongo.so

  • 772

I have mongo installed on the server and running, I can query the command line. PHP and Apache are running fine as well. The problem, however, is that mongo.so isn't in the php lib directory, and I can't find mongo.so to move it there. sudo find / -name mongo.so doesn't yield any results. I also can't really find anywhere to download it.

How should I proceed?

ubuntu php mongodb

    So, you need the PHP bit to connect to mongo.

    You can use PECL to install it by running something like pecl install mongo.

    You can also install it more manually by going to http://pecl.php.net/package/mongo

    I don't believe Ubuntu (at least 10.04) has a PHP-mongo package, at least not according to aptitude search mongo.

    Update:

    As noted below, the OP needed the build-essential package, which will include things like make, gcc, etc. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingEasyHowTo

  2. Try reading this http://quadloops.com/how-to-setup-a-php-and-mongodb-development-environment-in-ubuntu-12-04/ guide to setup PHP and MongoDB developement environment. This one is for Ubuntu, but it think it should work with others too.
