Error enabling MongoDB module

Question

I am trying to use MongoDB with drupal 7 site. The database is hosted remotely on mongolab.com.

I have installed the MongoDB Driver on my dedicated server and it added extension = "mongo.so" to my php.ini automatically.

Now, when I try to enable MongoDB module, it gives me this error:

Mongodb requires the PHP MongoDB extension to be installed. (Currently using Mongodb Not found)

Any ideas why?

When you use `phpinfo()` in a script do you see a `mongodb` section? — Sammaye, Feb 28 '13 at 08:54
@GauravVashishtha, could you please tell me how to `make the mongo db enable` ?! (in code) — Muhammad Reda, Feb 28 '13 at 08:59
I am guessing that either your php.ini is cached by APC or FCGI modules or you are running this in console and there are two php.ini files or it didn't actually add it to the php.ini and just said it did like the big fat liar it is — Sammaye, Feb 28 '13 at 09:05
Oh wait, just to check; did you check for a `mongo` section as well? I misspelt how the driver calls itself in the configuration, it calls itself `mongo` not `mongodb` — Sammaye, Feb 28 '13 at 09:07
Ok yea take my comment just before, check all your php.inis and if you are running APC or a fcgi module restart it, if you installed through pecl it will not add the line to your php.ini automatically even if it says it did. — Sammaye, Feb 28 '13 at 09:09
@Sammaye; I installed it via PECL and the php.ini already has `extension = "mongo.so"` — Muhammad Reda, Feb 28 '13 at 09:11

How to point `extension_dir variable` to the location of `mongo.so` ?! — Muhammad Reda, Feb 28 '13 at 09:30
It should already, you shouldnt need to change the `extension_dir` config variable — Sammaye, Feb 28 '13 at 09:32

1) In your phpinfo() screen, make sure the Configuration file Path and Loaded Configuration File match the PHP file you are editing. If not, then find the correct php.ini and add the mongo.so extension.

2) In your phpinfo() screen, look at the extension_dir value and confirm that mongo.so exists in that directory. If not, find the mongo.so file and copy it to this directory.

3) Restart your web server.

4) If it's still not working, take a look at the web server & php logs for clues as to why the extension might not be loading.

I was banging my head against the wall, nothing was helping me. I realized that php.ini file was not reflecting changes so I found out that I should restart php-fpm like `sudo systemctl restart php-7.3-fpm` that was it! — mohammad fallah.rasoulnejad, Feb 07 '20 at 13:55
