Ubuntu – How to install Mongodb PHP extension in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

I managed start the MongoDB service with SystemD on boot:

I uninstalled the official meta-package (mongodb-org) v3.2, then I installed the meta-package (mongodb) v2.6 from Ubuntu repository:

> sudo apt-get remove mongodb-org
> sudo apt-get install mongodb

Create the service config file as shown below:

> cd /lib/systemd/system
> sudo touch mongodb.service
> sudo nano mongodb.service
[Unit]
Description=An object/document-oriented database
Documentation=man:mongod(1)
After=network.target

[Service]
User=mongodb
Group=mongodb
ExecStart=/usr/bin/mongod --quiet --config /etc/mongodb.conf

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Verify in the list if the service is enabled or disabled using the command below:

> systemctl list-unit-files --type=service
...
mongodb.service             disabled
...

If it is disabled or not in the list, enable it:

> sudo systemctl enable mongodb.service

Check again:

> systemctl list-unit-files --type=service 
...
mongodb.service             enabled
...

Now you can managing the service on SystemD init process:

> systemctl status mongodb
> sudo systemctl stop mongodb
> sudo systemctl start mongodb
> sudo systemctl restart mongodb

Enjoy!
