MongoDB

If you have a Bitnami for Linux VM or Cloud image that has the older mongo driver or a too old version of mongodb driver, and need to upgrade to the mongodb driver, follow this procedure

• Clone the source
  • You can do this from anywhere that you have write access, but we recommend your user's home folder.

  • git clone https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-php-driver.git

• Change into cloned repo and get submodules

  • cd mongo-php-driver

  • git submodule sync && git submodule update --init

• Prepare the build environment for a PHP extension

  • phpize

• Install the necessary libraries

  • sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libssl-dev libsslcommon2-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev pkg-config

• Configure the environment

  • ./configure --with-libdir=/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

• Compile the module

  • make all -j 5

• Install the module

  • sudo make install

  • You should get output indicating that the module was installed to an extensions directory, for example /opt/binamit/php/lib/php/extensions/
• Edit php.ini
  • Use your text editor of choice to edit /opt/bitnami/php/etc/php.ini . I like vim

  • sudo vim /opt/bitnami/php/etc/php.ini

  • Add a line indicating the new module. It can go anywhere in the file. I put mine right next to the mongo.so instruction.

    • extension=mongodb.so

  • Save the file and exit
• Restart the Bitnami stack
• Verify successful installation using php -m and grep

Example:

bitnami@ubuntu:~/mongo-php-drivers$ php -m | grep mongo
mongo
mongodb
