Installation mongodb+php on Ubuntu/Debian

By looking in internet for way to install mongodb driver I have found only truncated instructions. And there will be my complete guide :)

First of all we need to install mongodb server:

 sudo aptitude install mongodb  

And try whether it works:

 $ mongo  
 MongoDB shell version: 1.6.6-pre-  
 connecting to: test  
 > show dbs  
 admin  
 local  

Now we can install pear

 sudo apt-get install php5-dev php-pear  

and download & install mongodb driver for php

 sudo pecl install mongo

now we have to create file /etc/php5/conf.d/mongo.ini and write 1 line in it

 extension=mongo.so  

restart apache

 sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart  

and try some php code like that:

 <?php
 var_dump(new Mongo());  

in my case output was

 object(Mongo)#1 (4) {  
  ["connected"]=>  
  bool(true)  
  ["status"]=>  
  NULL  
  ["server":protected]=>  
  string(0) ""  
  ["persistent":protected]=>  
  NULL  
 }
