Install Mongo DB on Debian with PHP support
Steps to Install MongoDB - This should work with Debian and Ubuntu, with the upstart init system.
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv 7F0CEB10 &&
sudo sh -c 'echo ''deb http://downloads-distro.mongodb.org/repo/ubuntu-upstart dist 10gen'' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/10gen.list' &&
sudo apt-get update &&
sudo apt-get install mongodb-10gen;
If all goes well you should have a fully working MongoDB. To make sure things are working have a look at /etc/var/log/mongodb/mongodb.log
Try it out with:
#mongo
> db.test.save( { a: 1 } )
> db.test.find()
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5028ef81799a8e44dd0cd654"), "a" : 1 }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5028f2b13579fd22f1b63d91"), "a" : 1 }
Now go have a look at a nice Tutorial for MongoDB
MongoDB and PHP
We need to install the MongoDB driver for PHP before they can communicate.
sudo apt-get install php5-dev php5-cli php-pear && # Get pecl working.
sudo pecl install mongo # Install the PHP Mongo Driver.
Now show PHP the extension by adding extension=mongo.so to your php.ini and restart your web server.
