We have to Log into the instance as root user
Now we have to add the 10gen MongoDB repository for yum, by creating the file
sudo vi /etc/yum.repos.d/10gen-mongodb.repo
For 64-bit. Copy the below.
[10gen]
name=10gen Repository
baseurl=http://downloads-distro.mongodb.org/repo/redhat/os/x86_64
gpgcheck=0
For 32-bit . Copy the below.
[10gen]
name=10gen Repository
baseurl=http://downloads-distro.mongodb.org/repo/redhat/os/i686
gpgcheck=0
Install MongoDB by running the following command
sudo yum install mongo-10gen mongo-10gen-server
Modify the file /etc/mongod.conf Change the location of DB, logs files, ports as necessary
logpath=/var/log/mongo/mongod.log
port=27017
dbpath=/var/lib/mongo
If you have changed the location of the db or log files, make sure that mongod has write permissions at the new locations. If not assign persmission
sudo chown mongod:mongod /data/mongodb
sudo chown mongod:mongod /data/mongo/mongod.log
The new location can be /data/mongodb for dbpath and /data/log/mongo/mongod.log for logpath. If these directories are created then we have to give the permissions to the specified folders
Start MongoDB server
sudo service mongod start
or
sudo /etc/init.d/mongod start
To start MongoDB on server reboot
sudo chkconfig --levels 235 mongod on
