Installing MongoDB Cpanel

Abelardo_Leon_Gonzal · 2021-01-01T12:53:16.503Z

Hi there,

I followed the steps mentioned at this page: https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-red-hat/#install-mongodb-community-edition

but it didn’t work (please, see the below picture):

It’s a CentOS 7.

Warmest regards.

Hi there!

What command was this the output of?

Can you show me the output of:
ls -l /etc/yum.repos.d/mongodb*

and

cat /etc/yum.repos.d/mongodb*

??

Also is the machine behind a proxy that tunnels port 443? a web proxy? A VPN? On a campus or corporate network?

Hi @Abelardo_Leon_Gonzal and welcome in the MongoDB Community !

I just followed the steps from your link in a fresh CentOS 7 docker container and I was able to install the latest version of MongoDB (v4.4.3 currently) without any major issue.

I just had to install vim with yum install vim because my container was just out of the box and I couldn’t start mongod using systemd or System V Init because this just doesn’t work in a docker container (needs more permissions) - but I was able to start a mongod manually with mkdir /tmp/db && mongod --dbpath /tmp/db and then connect to it from my host using docker exec -it <container-name> mongo.

Just FYI, I started my CentOS 7 container with docker run --rm -it centos:7 bash.

So I couldn’t reproduce your issue really here. I’m not sure what step is causing this issue. Could you please be more specific?

Thanks,
Maxime.

Hi @Sheeri_Cabral,

I run the following command: sudo yum install -y mongodb-org
as mentioned at that page.
The output of the command: ls -l /etc/yum.repos.d/mongodb*
is:

-rw-r–r-- 1 root root 200 Jan 5 09:56 /etc/yum.repos.d/mongodb-org-4.4.repo

The output of the command: cat …
is:

[mongodb-org-4.4]
name=MongoDB Repository
baseurl=https://repo.mongodb.org/yum/centos/$releasever/mongodb-org/4.4/x86_64/
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
gpgkey=https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-4.4.asc

It’s a VPS hosting.

Thanks for your help! Best regards.

Hi there,

I have a VPS account which runs CentOS 7.

When I run the

sudo yum install -y mongodb-org

in order to install MongoDB to be used with my NodeJS app, it outputs the following lines:

Looks like an Internet connection issue? Some firewall misconfiguration maybe? Looks like you can’t reach the repo.

Sheeri_Cabral · 2021-01-11T16:20:02.724Z

Hi @Abelardo_Leon_Gonzal,

The baseurl looks different to me - in the docs, it’s:

baseurl=https://repo.mongodb.org/yum/redhat/$releasever/mongodb-org/4.4/x86_64/

your file has ‘centos’ instead of ‘redhat’ - when I go to MongoDB Repositories I’m not seeing a centos option, but I do see a redhat one.

Further, if I go to https://repo.mongodb.org/yum/centos/7/mongodb-org/4.4/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml I get a 404 Not Found but if I change ‘centos’ to ‘redhat’ and go to:

https://repo.mongodb.org/yum/redhat/7/mongodb-org/4.4/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml

I see XML data.

can you try changing your baseurl?

Abelardo_Leon_Gonzal · 2021-01-12T12:44:23.030Z

Hi there,

Thanks for replying.

After I replacing “centos” by “redhat”, “$releaseever” by “7” and to run the above command, I got this message:

Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks, universal-hooks
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
…
No package mongodb-org available.
Error: Nothing to do

My mongodb-org-4.4.repo file:

[mongodb-org-4.4]
name=MongoDB Repository
baseurl=MongoDB Repositories
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
gpgkey=https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-4.4.asc

Best regards.

Abelardo_Leon_Gonzal · 2021-01-12T12:46:12.662Z

Hi there,

Thanks for replying.

It’s not related to an Internet connection issue. It’s my fault because I made some typos in the url. I fixed them but it still continues with no be installed.

Best regards.

Sheeri_Cabral · 2021-01-12T16:10:20.463Z

Hi there!

Did you clear the yum cache after making that change?

yum clean all

Hopefully that will have the installation working!

Abelardo_Leon_Gonzal · 2021-01-12T17:55:35.337Z

Hi there!

I executed that command but a strange thing happens.

When I re-run the following command:

sudo yum install -y mongodb-org

its output was:

Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks, universal-hooks
Determining fastest mirrors
…
EA4 | 2.9 kB 00:00:00
cpanel-addons-production-feed | 2.9 kB 00:00:00
cpanel-plugins | 2.9 kB 00:00:00

I don’t understand why in this line appears centos again when I wrote redhat in my mongodb-org-4.4.repo file:

http://mirrors.unifiedlayer.com/centos/7/os/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 403 -
Forbidden

In fact, if I click on this link a xml appears. It seems valid.

Trying other mirror.
To address this issue please refer to the below wiki article

Abelardo_Leon_Gonzal · 2021-01-12T17:58:47.151Z

Sheeri_Cabral:

yum clean all

I re-runned twice this command and the second time the following output was showed:

image619×1233 132 KB

The package #23/25 clearly states

mongodb-org-4.4/primary_db

but the last message says:

No package mongodb-org available.

Sheeri_Cabral · 2021-01-12T18:03:16.341Z

Hi! I’m assuming that this also didn’t work? If I try to find mongo-org in the packages there, it doesn’t exist at
http://mirrors.unifiedlayer.com/centos/7/os/x86_64/Packages/

What does this command result in?
cat /etc/issue

Abelardo_Leon_Gonzal · 2021-01-12T18:06:12.643Z

Sheeri_Cabral:

cat /etc/issue

\S
Kernel \r on an \m

Sheeri_Cabral · 2021-01-12T18:07:36.448Z

Right, sorry, try these too?

cat /proc/version
and
cat /etc/redhat-release

Abelardo_Leon_Gonzal · 2021-01-12T18:07:42.099Z

Hi!
Yes, you correctly assumed that that also didn’t work.

Abelardo_Leon_Gonzal · 2021-01-12T18:08:53.789Z

cat /proc/version outputs:

Linux version 3.10.0-1127.19.1.el7.x86_64 (mockbuild@kbuilder.bsys.centos.org) (gcc version 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-39) (GCC) ) #1 SMP Tue Aug 25 17:23:54 UTC 2020

cat /etc/redhat-release:

CentOS Linux release 7.9.2009 (Core)

Sheeri_Cabral · 2021-01-12T18:16:04.252Z

OK, great. So you’re on CentOS.

Can you try this?
sudo rm /etc/yum.repos.d/mongodb-org-4.4.repo
sudo yum clean all

Then edit /etc/yum.repos.d/mongodb-org-4.4.repo and add in:
[mongodb-org-4.4]
name=MongoDB Repository
baseurl=https://repo.mongodb.org/yum/redhat/$releasever/mongodb-org/4.4/x86_64/
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
gpgkey=https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-4.4.asc

and then do
sudo yum install -y mongodb-org

and see if that installs it?

Download them via wget or curl, and then yum install FILENAME, for example:
sudo yum install -y mongodb-org-4.4.3-1.el7.x86_64.rpm

I’m not sure why you’re having this issue - we’ve had a few people test on CentOS 7 and the instructions are working.

chris · 2021-01-12T18:19:49.472Z

@Sheeri_Cabral
I just ran through on a centos:7 container, all looks good to me following the install instructions.

@Abelardo_Leon_Gonzal
Also try the yum with the --noplugins flag in case there is a yum-plugin messing with things.

Abelardo_Leon_Gonzal · 2021-01-12T18:21:21.338Z

Yes, I mentioned it in my first post.

The first solution didn’t work.

I will try to manually download those packages in order to be installed via yum install rpm by rpm.

Best regards.
