MongoDB Installation

Drivers

The Bitnami packages come with an instance of MongoDB and the drivers already installed. No further action is necessary.

Ensure that you have the php-pear and php5-dev packages installed on your system. You will also need the pcre3 and sasl2 development libraries.
- ```
$ sudo apt-get install php-pear php5-dev libpcre3-dev libsasl2-dev
```
Use PECL to make the mongo.so file
- ```
$ sudo pecl install mongo
```
- If the the install generates any errors it will fail. You will need to troubleshoot based on the error reported.

Create a module file for your mongo installation.

$ sudo touch /etc/php5/mods-available/mongo.ini

Edit the file you just created in your preferred text editor.
- There is a single line in the file it looks like this:
- ```
extension=mongo.so
```
Enable the php extension
- ```
$ sudo php5enmod mongo
```

Restart your web service service
