MongoDB Installation

Drivers

Bitnami Installs on Windows, Mac, and Linux

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

Linux

Beginning with DreamFactory 2.1.2 the newer mongodb driver is both supported and required. This gives MongoDB compatibility up to the latest version (3.2)

mongo driver

• used for DF 2.1.1 and earlier
• 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.
  • <source lang=bash>$ sudo apt-get install php-pear php5-dev libpcre3-dev libsasl2-dev</source>
• Use PECL to make the mongo.so file
  • <source lang=bash>$ sudo pecl install mongo</source>

Note: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.
  • <source lang=bash>$ sudo touch /etc/php5/mods-available/mongo.ini</source>

• Enable the php extension
  • <source lang=bash>$ sudo php5enmod mongo</source>
