Deploy Docker Container with PHP + MongoDB Extension

[wan (Wan Bachtiar)]

Hi @Dan_Burt,

@Dan_Burt

I am trying to replicate with Docker containers. I thought I had it when I ONLY required the MongoDB extension, as I had to change (hard-code) some values to /usr/bin . But now I need the next composer package, zlucas/phpdotenv which breaks the config above.

From a brief look, it seems that the issue is related to the php.ini file. This is because there is no existing file called /usr/local/etc/php/php.ini when you build the Dockerfile.

It looks like the new line extension=mongodb.so is just being appended to an empty file. I think what you would like to do instead is to append the line into /usr/local/etc/php/php.ini-development and rename/copy the file into php.ini.

Hopefully that helps, if you have further questions related to the MongoDB PHP extension itself, could you please provide a minimal Docker environment? i.e. minus the docker-compose.

Also please take a look at an example at get-started-php/Dockerfile. This file is part of the get-started-php project, which utilises containers as a way to kickstart a learning environment. See also "Get Started" with MongoDB Atlas thread.

I have tried different minimum versions, such as ^1.8.0 , ^1.9.0 and the above.

This is not directly related to the issue you’re experiencing, although please note that MongoDB PHP extension version 1.9.1 is now available ( MongoDB PHP Extension 1.9.1 Released )

Wan.
