Installing MongoDB on Fedora 16

Needing to install MongoDB for some quick tests, I found lots of blogs/wikis about how to get started. All inaccurate regarding Fedora 16: no need at all to add additional repositories.

Install

sudo yum install mongodb-server mongodb

Start

sudo service mongod start

done!

Optional: some more insight

Configuration

File is at:

/etc/mongodb.conf

Interesting options

# disallow table scans; if we do, I'd fix our code:

notablescan = true

# enable HTTP interface

nohttpinterface = false

# Verbose logging output.

verbose = true

Where is the stuff?

dbpath=/var/lib/mongodb

pidfilepath=/var/run/mongodb/mongodb.pid

logpath=/var/log/mongodb/mongodb.log

Local console: http://localhost:28017/

Have MongoDB start as a service

systemctl enable mongod.service
