Fatal error: Class 'Mongo' not found in ....

I have no idea why I am getting this error, thank you

Answer 1

You should add extension=mongo.so to your /etc/php5/cli/php.ini file

You can run following command to identify which ini file your php version using:

vps01:/usr/share/php# php --ini
Configuration File (php.ini) Path: /etc/php5/cli
Loaded Configuration File:         /etc/php5/cli/php.ini
Scan for additional .ini files in: /etc/php5/cli/conf.d

Answer 2

It happens because php uses different configurations for web-server and CLI. Often the CLI config is placed in /etc/php5/cli/ . Compare it with your general php.ini file and you will find what causes the error.
