Package "mongodb" Version "1.4.4" does not have REST xml available install failed

Answer 1

As the error message stated, the first extension you tried to install, mongo, is deprecated. The extension you want is mongodb.

Rather than use a package manager, I would recommend installing it manually. That way you customize its options, such as SSL support, which you may need for certain authentication methods. Per the installation manual , the steps are as follows:

git clone https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-php-driver.git
cd mongo-php-driver
git submodule update --init
phpize
./configure [options]
make all
sudo make install
