You have a to install autoconf on order to avoid the following error:

Cannot find autoconf. Please check your autoconf installation and the $PHP _autoconf environment variable. Then, rerun the this script. ERROR: ' Phpize ' failed

Enough talk, hands in work ...

Step 1. Install the Autoconf tool

Download the latest source version:

Cdmkdir AUTOCONFCD autoconfcurl http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/autoconf-latest.tar.gz > autoconf.tar.gz

Untar it

Tar-xvzf autoconf.tar.gz

Configure and make

CD Autoconf-2.69./configuremakesudo make Installexport php_autoconf=/usr/local/bin/autoconf

autoconf is installed on/usr/local/bin/autoconf by default.

Step 2. Install the Mongo extension

Download the driver from the official repository:

Cdmkdir MONGO-PHP-DRIVERCD Mongo-php-drivercurl Https://codeload.github.com/mongodb/mongo-php-driver/zip/master > Mongo-php-driver-master.zip

Unzip it

Unzip MONGO-PHP-DRIVER-MASTER.ZIPCD Mongo-php-driver-master

Configure and Build

Phpize./configuremake Allsudo make Install

Check the extension was successfully created:

ls/usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/

You should see the mongo.so extension file in there.

Make sure the previous directory are the same as the PHP extension directory by running:

Php-i | grep extension_dir  extension_dir =/usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626 =                   /usr/lib/ php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626

If it ' s not, change the extension_dir in php.ini or move mongo.so. (See below if you don ' t have a php.ini file)

To load the extension in PHP startup, add the following line to your php.ini file:

Extension=mongo.so

If you don't have a php.ini file that has a to copy it from your Php.ini.default file like this:

sudo cp/private/etc/php.ini.default/private/etc/php.inisudo Nano/private/etc/php.ini

Add the previous "extension" line to your file, save it and restart Apache

sudo apachectl restart
