PHP MongoDB (Mongo Database) Driver Installation on Linux, UNIX, BSD and Mac OS X
MongoDB PHP driver is very simple install on Linux, UNIX, BSD and Mac OS X. You need just PEAR (PHP Extension and Application Repository) with PECL repository.

Check that the PEAR and PECL are working with the following commands:
## Check PEAR ## pear version PEAR Version: 1.9.0 PHP Version: 5.3.1 Zend Engine Version: 2.3.0 Running on: Linux ## Check PECL ## pecl version PEAR Version: 1.9.0 PHP Version: 5.3.1 Zend Engine Version: 2.3.0 Running on: Linux

Add extension=mongo.so to php.ini
## Find php.ini example with locate command ## locate php.ini ## Open php.ini with your favourite text editor (as root) ## nano -w /etc/php.ini ## Add following lines, end of php.ini file ## # MongoDB Driver extension=mongo.so
Restart Web Server (as root)
## Example ## /etc/init.d/apache2 restart ## OR ## /etc/init.d/httpd restart
