I am trying to configure MongoDB to work with my Laravel 5.1 Homestead instance on a virtual Ubuntu 14.04 machine. I was able to successfully install the latest version of MongoDB which supports PHP 7.0 using sudo pecl install mongodb
(this is correct for 7.0, not sudo pecl install mongo
anymore).
I then added the extension in my php.ini files (all three) on my Ubuntu machine, each in:
/etc/php/7.0/cli/php.ini
/etc/php/7.0/fpm/php.ini
/etc/php/7.0/cgi/php.ini
This is the extension I wrote which is correct for use with PHP 7.0:
extension=mongodb.so
(not mongo.so anymore)
When I run phpinfo()
in my browser, it states that MongoDB is properly configured with my PHP 7.0.
If MongoDB is properly configured, how come I keep getting:
Fatal error: Class 'MongoDate' not found
when I try to run my migrations and seeds with php artisan migrate:refresh --seed
?
I already tried:
- rebooting the Ubuntu machine with
vagrant reload
andvagrant reload --provision
- Restarting PHP and Nginx with
sudo service nginx restart
andsudo service php7.0-fpm restart
Neither have worked.
