MongoDB is an open-source document database designed for easy of development and scaling. For more information please visit www.mongodb.org , You can also download the linux tar file for manual installation as per your customized needs. Today i had a chance to install MongoDB on one of our cpanel based server so just wanted to write down how its installed.
Step 1.) Installing repo
[root / ]# cd /etc/yum.repos.d
[root / ]# nano -w mongodb.repo
Copy and Paste the below given code and save the file.
[mongodb]

Step 2.) Installing the package MongoDB
[root / ]# yum install mongo-10gen mongo-10gen-server
Step 3.) Configure it to automatically start after reboots
[root / ]# chkconfig mongod on
Start MongoDB:
[root / ]# service mongod start
Starting mongod: [OK]
Step 4.) Installing MongoDB PHP Extension
[root / ]# pecl install mongo
Let the process complete and at the end you should see the following text.
