MongoDB with MAMP on OS X

Back to home

In order to start running MongoDB with PHP, there is a need to install MongoDB PECL Module.

Ensure that you have your MongoDB setup and installed correctly. If not, proceed to MongoDB Installation on OS X to start installing first.

  1. Download the MongoDB driver for OS X from the github.
  2. Unzip and Extract the mongo.so to:
    3. /Applications/MAMP/bin/php5.3/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-DATESTAMP

    where DATESTAMP could be 20090626 etc.

  3. Open your php.ini file and add the following:
    4. sudo vi /Applications/MAMP/conf/php5.3/php.ini
  4. Search for Extensions (Dynamic Extensions) and add to the list:
    5. extension=mongo.so
  5. Restart MAMP
  6. Check phpinfo()
