Question

I\'ve tried two different ways to install the mongodb php driver.

• Compiling it based on directions from http://andres.jaimes.net/876/setup-mongo-php-module-centos-

Answer 1

Looks like you don't have the headers installed for OpenSSL.

Try yum install openssl-devel (or use sudo if not root) then recompile.

Answer 2

For anyone the command yum install openssl-devel did not solve Installing PHP56 Mongo Driver in centos instance try to use/install these first

sudo yum install php-pear

sudo yum install php56-devel

sudo yum install gcc

sudo yum install openssl-devel

sudo pecl install mongodb
