MongoDB Standalone Installation best
practice and reference guide.
Install MongoDB Community Edition on
Red Hat Enterprise 6.6 using .rpm package
MongoDB
provides officially supports packages in their own repository.
Ø mongodb-org A
metapackage that will automatically install the four component packages listed
below.
Ø mongodb-org-server Contains the mongod daemon and
associated configuration and init scripts.
Ø mongodb-org-mongos Contains the mongos daemon.
Ø mongodb-org-shell Contains the mongo shell.
Ø mongodb-org-tools Contains the following MongoDB
tools: mongoimport bsondump, mongodump, mongoexport, mongofiles, mongooplog,
mongoperf, mongorestore, mongostat, and mongotop.
The default /etc/mongod.conf configuration file
supplied by the packages has bind_ip
set to 127.0.0.1 by default. Modify this setting as needed for your environment
before initializing a replica set.
The
mongodb-org package includes various init scripts, including the init script
/etc/rc.d/init.d/mongod. You can use these scripts to stop, start, and restart
daemon processes.
Ex: sudo service mongod start/stop/restart
Installing MongoDB
1. Configure yum (package management
system), here I’m using 2mongodb-org-2.6
Create a repo file /etc/yum.repos.d/mongodb-org-2.6.repo
And below details in the
repo file
[mongodb-org-3.2]
name=MongoDB Repository
baseurl=https://repo.mongodb.org/yum/redhat/$releasever/mongodb-org/3.2/x86_64/
gpgcheck=0
enabled=1
2. Install MongoDB by issuing repo
install cmd
Sudo yum install –y
mongodb-org
*Recommended
to install complete package, if you want install each package individually then
specify each component individually and append the version number to the
package name.
*You can
configure SELinux to allow MongoDB to start on Red Hat Linux-based systems, by
updated SELINUX variable in /etc/selinux/config but not recommended.
Default Data Directories in MongoDB
Ø Data Files are stored in /var/lib/mongo
Ø Log files are stored in /var/log/mongodb
If you
change the user that runs the MongoDB process, you must modify the access
control rights to the /var/lib/mongo and /var/log/mongodb directories to give
this user access to these directories.
Simple Start Stop and Restart CMDs
$service
mongod start Check log to see service
started and default port is in listening mode
$sudo
service mongod stop Check
log to see if service is shut down and port released.
You can
follow the state of the process for errors or important messages by watching
the output in the /var/log/mongodb/mongod.log file
