Answer 1

It seems that you forgot to install MongoDB PHP Driver itself.

To do that just install it with pecl :

sudo pecl install mongodb-1.5.3

1.5.3 is the last stable version, so I'd recommend to use it rather than the most recent 1.6.0alpha.

Then, don't forget to add it to your php.ini (run php --ini to see where it's located):

extension=mongodb.so

To test that it works just run:

php -m | grep mongo

If you see mongodb in output, then it works.
