This article applies for all Linux VPS & Linux Cloud clients. Installing MongoDB is an easy and short process, but you will need to create the Mongo databases from shell (ssh/putty) and administer them from there as well (VPS or Cloud).  To do that, please follow the steps below:
  1. Install the MongoDB repo:
cd /etc/yum.repos.d
  1. Create the mongodb.repo file:
nano -w mongodb.repo
  1. Paste this code inside:
[mongodb] name=MongoDB Repo baseurl=http://downloads-distro.mongodb.org/repo/redhat/os/x86\_64/ gpgcheck=0 enabled=1
  1. Install MongoDB using Yum:
yum install mongo-10gen mongo-10gen-server PS: At this point, you should have MongoDB installed on your CentOS + cPanel box.
  1. Configure MongoDB to automatically start after reboot:
chkconfig mongod on
  1. Start MongoDB:
service mongod start
  1. Use the powerful PECL command to install your MongoDB PHP extension:
pecl install mongo
  1. Restart Apache to apply changes:
service httpd restart
  1. Verify installation with this command:
php -i | grep mongo -i
  • If you see the MongoDB extension in the output, then you are all set!
