ABELARDO_GONZALEZ · 2021-03-16T12:57:08.170Z

I have executed the curl statement and it worked!

Could be possible that yum has a bug? ¿?

chris · 2021-03-16T12:58:34.034Z

Very unlikely as I can run it in Centos7 and Redhat 7 fine. Are you still trying this on CPanel. Have you contacted their support?

ABELARDO_GONZALEZ · 2021-03-16T13:00:43.112Z

Yes, but they redirect to your documentation.

ABELARDO_GONZALEZ · 2021-03-16T13:01:16.627Z

Which version of yum have you installed? They could be different.

ABELARDO_GONZALEZ · 2021-03-16T13:02:28.026Z

That variable wasn’t defined. I updated that yum.conf and I have got this result:

Not my documentation

Try it anywhere other than CPanel. I’m sure it will work.

How could I check if I can reach your server from my CentOS 7 server, please?

chris · 2021-03-16T13:32:45.556Z

The package you are installing should just be mongodb-org

yum install mongodb-org

If you are wanting a specific release the format is for example:
yum install mongodb-org-4.4.4-1.el7

What does yum search mongodb-org show now ?

Ryan_Quinn · 2021-03-16T14:02:41.161Z

Hey Abelardo! I had a chance to dig into this a bit this morning. The script here is based on the instructions with some modifications mentioned in this thread. This script was tested on a cloud VPS running CentOS 7.4 with cPanel/WHM installed under a trial license. No other modifications were made to the system aside from the activation process for the cPanel/WHM license.

Hi @ABELARDO_GONZALEZ!

Wow, it’s terrible that you’re still having issues after all this time. Do you actually need to run MongoDB on a CentOS7 machine with cPanel?

Personally, I don’t bother with MongoDB on Linux (except for debugging to help others!), I just use Atlas - The free tier is enough for my needs (I have a few databases I regularly use) and you don’t need to provide a credit card for the free tier, just head on over to cloud.mongodb.com - and with a few clicks and waiting about 5-10 minutes for the machines to spin up, you’ll be querying in no time…

ABELARDO_GONZALEZ · 2021-03-18T10:22:54.005Z

Hi there,

Thanks for your piece of advice.

I prefer MongoDB on CentOS 7 since I wouldn’t like to share my personal data in any online platform such as Atlas.

I know I can’t avoid anybody accesses to my data but I prefer not doing it with online platforms.

Best regards.

@ABELARDO_GONZALEZ Absolutely - data privacy is very important! I was very pleased to learn when I joined that, as an employee, I was not allowed to go into any databases without explicit permission - e.g. we have to ask “may I look into your database?” specifically, if it’s needed to debug an issue.

Here’s a link to MongoDB’s privacy policy - this isn’t specifically for you, Abelardo, but just in case other people are worried if MongoDB is using your data…I want to assure them we’re not!

ABELARDO_GONZALEZ · 2021-03-23T12:46:25.134Z

Hello there!

Thanks for your all time / effort / support.

My issue was successfully solved.

I could install MongoDB on CentOS 7.

The problem was I followed your instructions:
exclude=mongodb-org,mongodb-org-server,mongodb-org-shell,mongodb-org-mongos,mongodb-org-tools
and it avoided any installation.

I removed mongodb from this section and it worked like a charm.

Warmest regards.

chris · 2021-03-23T13:01:40.927Z

That step is executes after a yum install. If your yum install didn’t succeed then adding this would indeed block installing.

You can specify any available version of MongoDB. However yum upgrades the packages when a newer version becomes available. To prevent unintended upgrades, pin the package. To pin a package, add the following exclude directive to your /etc/yum.conf file:

exclude=mongodb-org,mongodb-org-server,mongodb-org-shell,mongodb-org-mongos,mongodb-org-tools

mongodb.com

Install MongoDB Community Edition on Red Hat or CentOS — MongoDB Manual

Thanks for following up, it was a head scratcher.

ABELARDO_GONZALEZ · 2021-03-23T15:45:18.113Z

Hi there,

I executed a yum install. Since it didn’t work, I included these files under the “excluded” section. Consequently, future invocations to install Mongodb didn’t work.

I think that documentation should warm to future users to avoid writing these names under the excluded section.

Regards.
