Install Mongo db on Mac OSX with XAMPP and php 5.3 ext

Hi, I (think) just installed MongoDB on my local xampp machine.

I followed online tutorials and everything seems to be done:

  • Moved the precompiled mongo.so to XAMPP/xampfiles/lib/php/php5.3/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/

  • Added this line of code in php.ini:

    extension = mongo.so

  • Restart apache

  • Connected to localhost and I see mongo extension in phpinfo()

  • I went http: // localhost: 27017 to see the mongo interface and could not connect to it (Firefox returns an error)

Then I downloaded the MongoHub client for Mac OSX to create / manage mongo databases, but it says there is a socket error and it seems that there is no connection with MongoDB

I (think) I also installed mongoDB myself

  • I created a directory: XAMPP/xampfiles/var/mongodb
  • I extracted the MongoDB tar file under var/mongodb , so now I have var/mongodb/bin
  • From var/mongodb I ran this command:

./bin/mongod

And he returned:

Running ./bin/mongo also returns:

You need to run mongo with this command

 mongod --dbpath=data

The argument -dbpath = data is the place where your database will be allocated, data is the path and may look like / var / lib / mongodb / data or / data / mongodb.

And after this command, you can go to http: // localhost: 27017 and watch the mongodb monitor.

Good luck
