Install MongoDB on DirectAdmin
Introduction
This guide shows you how to install MongoDB on your DirectAdmin server.
Prerequisites
- Basic knowledge of Linux OS.
- A running DirectAdmin Server.
Install MongoDB
SSH to your server with root and run:
nano /etc/yum.repos.d/mongodb-org.repo
Add the text below and save:
[mongodb-org-3.4]
name=MongoDB Repository
baseurl=https://repo.mongodb.org/yum/redhat/$releasever/mongodb-org/3.4/x86_64/
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
gpgkey=https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-3.4.asc
Next, run the following commands:
yum repolist
yum -y install mongodb-org
systemctl start mongod
Config MongoDB
First, we enable authorization for MongoDB, run this command:
mongo
Then, in the mongo CLI, run those commands:
use admin
db.createUser(
{
user: "admindb",
pwd: "YOUR_PASSWORD",
roles: [ "root" ]
}
)
exit
Next, we edit MongoDB config /etc/mongod.conf file and add:
security:
authorization: enabled
Now restart MongoDB, and you can use your account to log in:
mongo --port 27017 -u "admindb" -p "YOUR_PASSWORD" --authenticationDatabase "admin"
If you want to create more accounts for your users, just run the commands below:
use userdb
db.createUser(
{
user: "username",
pwd: "USER_PASS",
roles: [ { role: "readWrite", db: "userdb" } ],
mechanisms:["SCRAM-SHA-1"]
}
)
Install MongoDB PHP Driver
Just run this command (replace 71 with your desired PHP version, if any):
/usr/local/php71/bin/pecl install mongodb
Then add "extension=mongodb.so" to php.ini and restart PHP/Apache for changes to take effect.
Disable Transparent Huge Pages (THP)
See MongoDB doc
Conclusion
You have now installed MongoDB on your DirectAdmin server.
