title: Install mongodb php driver on mediatemple dv 4.0
body: <p>By following the official instructions <a href="http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Quickstart+Unix" rel="nofollow">http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Quickstart+Unix</a> and this post <a href="http://blog.phy5ics.com/2010/03/27/installing-mongodb-on-mediatemple-dv/" rel="nofollow">http://blog.phy5ics.com/2010/03/27/installing-mongodb-on-mediatemple-dv/</a> I've just about managed to get mongodb installed on MediaTemples DV 4.0 server (I think).</p>
  
  <p>I am however having problems installing the PHP driver <a href="http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/PHP+Language+Center" rel="nofollow">http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/PHP+Language+Center</a></p>
  
  <p>In SSH I get this:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>[root@xxx]# cd /var/tmp<br>
    [root@xxx]# pecl install mongo<br>
    downloading mongo-1.1.4.tgz ...<br>

  <p>I am logged in as the root user - I don't understand why it's failing and what steps I need to take to install the PHP driver?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
