Installation
Debian or Ubuntu:
All recent versions of Debian-derived distributions come with suitable MongoDB packages. Use sudo or su to become the root user, then run the following command:
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
apt-get install mongodb-clients mongodb-server |
Installing the mongodb-server package will result in a working, automatically started MongoDB with no authentication.
Other Systems:
Download MongoDB from the Website at http://www.mongodb.org/downloads (version 2.2.3 was latest at the time of writing this so the examples are using the 64-bit version of this release)
...
Opmantek Setup for MongoDB
For Debian-derived distributions the default configuration is fine, but you might still want to adjust the database storage area. The configuration file is /etc/mongodb.conf, and the init script is in /etc/init.d/mongodb.
For other systems, check Check that the location in the provided init script is where you want the database to run store its files (the default is mongodbpath=/var/mongodb for the original version):
| Code Block |
|---|
vi /usr/local/opmantek/install/mongod.init.d ### you will see ### two suggestions provided mongodbpath=/var/mongodb ## mongodbpath=/data/mongodb |
...
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
# as root cp /usr/local/opmantek/install/mongod.init.d /etc/init.d/mongod chkconfig mongod on service mongod start start |
If this is a Debian-derived system and you made config changes, then your mongod will already be running and you need to restart it like this:
| Code Block |
|---|
#use su or sudo to become root
service mongodb restart
# or /etc/init.d/mongodb restart
# or invoke-rc.d mongodb restart |
