MongoDB php extension not working on windows 7

I want to use MongoDB with PHP5.5 on Wampserver 2.5 but I can't get it working. I've setup MongoDB 2.6.3 config file using this tutorial and ran the mongod.exe --install --config 'config_path' and added the path to enviroment variables and it seems that MongoDB service is installed and is working just fine. I've also copied the thread-safe mongodb php driver into php's ext folder and added the extension=php_mongo.dll to both php.ini files in apache/apache2.4.9/bin/ and php/php5.5.12 folders. When I run wampserver there's a warning sign next to php_mongo extension. The problem is that I've tried installing x64 version of wampserver and MongoDB but didn't make any difference and I don't get any errors in the logs relating to this problem.

I've also read that using the Non-thread-safe version of the driver fixes the problem. But when I use it I get this error while starting wampserver:

The program can't start because php5.dll is missing from you computer.
Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library
'c:/wamp/bin/php5.5.12/ext/php_mongo.dll' - The specified module could not be found.

Here's the set of software that I'm using:

And just to mention, mongodb in installed in c:\mongodb\ and wampserver is installed in c:\wamp

I appreciate any help on this.

EDIT: Problem didn't go away, so I had to search for another webserver and I found zWamp which is a php/mysql/apache/mongodb stack and it works!

I also had this problem, this is what I was using:

Windows 10, 64 Bits

Wamp 2.5, 64 Bits

PHP 5.5.12

MongoDB 3.2

The extension appeared in the php extensions list as included but didn't show up in phpinfo, I tried almost all the versions of the mongodb library but solved it in this way:

  1. Updated the WAMP PHP version from 5.5.12 to 5.5.31 (latest), I almost followed the instructions here: Upgrading WAMP PHP, I just followed until the step 5, after adding the new version don't forget to switch to the new version just clicking the WAMP icon->PHP->Version->5.5.31

  2. Added the extension to the php.ini file of my upgraded PHP version, I added it just after the mysqli extension:

    extension=php_mongodb.dll

  3. Copied the MongoDB extension to the /ext folder in my upgraded version of PHP, I used the MongoDB 1.1.2 driver which is the new and updated library, it also depends on your MongoDB version and can be found here: https://pecl.php.net/package/mongodb Check the MongoDB library compatibility here: https://docs.mongodb.org/ecosystem/drivers/php/ for this solution I used the version 1.1.2 for PHP 5.5 Thread Safe (TS) x64 (It is supposed that all the WAMP libs have to be Thread Safe)

  4. I also finally had to copy my edited php.ini file to the Apache folder: wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.9\bin to get it to work maybe the syslink was pointing to the older one.

Greetings!

I used this and worked: php_mongo-1.5.1.zip

After installing mongodb when I was going through this amazon bucket list (https://s3.amazonaws.com/drivers.mongodb.org/php/index.html) for extension dll file. I have taken latest zip file and chosen dll file which shoots for my php version(5.5.12) and architecture(64) its did not worked out. Lastly I tried php_mongo-1.5.1.zip dll(php_mongo-1.5.1-5.5-vc11-x86_64.dll) file its started working mongo extension details can see in phpinfo().

Before starting work in mongodb don't forgot to start mongod server.

avoid Wampserver 2.5 administration "interface" and simply place it in BOTH php.ini files ... in my case, those are located in

C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.5.12

and

C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.9

i added the extension as 

extension=php_mongo-1.5.1-5.5-vc11-x86_64.dll

as new line to where other extension=... lines are

(remember to copy the DLL file from driver file you download here https://s3.amazonaws.com/drivers.mongodb.org/php/index.html to folder C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.5.12\ext - i used the 1.5.1 version)

Restart wampserver and it is working fine now, altho Wampserver still shows warning triangle by the mongo .dll in PHP admin section.

Make sure that you added the PHP installation directory to system environment variable PATH. I'm using Mongo driver v1.5.8 and it's working good. PHP manual page says: "This extension requires the following files to be in the PATH: libsasl.dll" you can find libsasl.dll in the PHP installation directory.

I´ve had the same problem in Windows 8.1 with Apache 2.4 and PHP 5.5. I tried the lastest version of mongo driver 1.5.5 and 1.5.4 downloaded from AWS "bucket list", but nothing worked. Then I tried version 1.5.1 and all works fine now, the error on apache log has gone and MongoDB support are showed in phpinfo().

If you are getting warning sign before mongo in php plugin then mongoDB drivers are not loaded in php.ini. Add extension=php_mongo-XX;(.dll file name which you have placed in php/ext folder). Warning sign will go away and mongoDB driver will load in php.

Make sure you are using the thread safe version of the MongoDB extension. I had faced smae error while using the non-thread-safe versions on windows (WAMP). Just a right .dll file resolved the issue.

To download extension, check the following link: http://www.php.net/manual/en/mongo.installation.php#mongo.installation.windows

Update: there are 4 files please chose the proper one based on your machine config. *-vc11-, *-vc11-nts, *-vc11-x86_64 and *-vc11-nts-x86_64. -vc11-x86_64 worked fine for me.
