无法将PHP连接到Google Cloud中的MongoDB

Question

I'm trying to connect my PHP app to MongoDB in Google Cloud but I'm getting an error. Those are the steps I followed.

1- MongoDB is installed and working with Bitnami's launcher

2- I installed mongodb PHP extension

sudo apt-get install mongodb

3- I created a php.ini file in the root (same directory as app.yaml) and added the extension

extension=mongodb.so

Error

Neither phpinfo or extension_loaded shows mongodb extension as loaded in my server, therefore, I can't connect. Can anyone help me to figure out what am I missing?

Answer 1

I already found the solution. The problem, as Alex suggested in his comment, was that I was installing the server and not the PHP driver.

That made the trick:

sudo apt-get install php-mongodb

Answer 2

Correct way to add mongodb extension is as follows(see this ):

extension = "mongo.so"

Also as Alex Blex commented, sudo apt-get install mongodb installs the mongodb itself. My understanding is that you don't need to install neither that nor the extension, Google App Engine Flex environment already supports this via php.ini configuration.
