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

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…

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!

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.

:slight_smile: Warmest regards.

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

Thanks for following up, it was a head scratcher.

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. :wink:

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

Regards.

Hi @ABELARDO_GONZALEZ,

Great to see you were able to successfully solve your installation issue! Thank you for confirming the problem with the excluded section - I created a suggestion for our documentation team you can watch, upvote, or comment on with additional information: DOCS-14314.

I know you prefer to manage your own hosting, but for future reference you might be interested to know that cloud security has evolved significantly.

With MongoDB Atlas:

There’s more information on security, compliance, and privacy in the MongoDB Trust Centre.

With MongoDB 4.2+ (self-hosted or Atlas) you can also use Client-Side Field Level Encryption (CSFLE) to encrypt sensitive fields in documents prior to sending to the server. The CSFLE Guide includes some practical examples for using CSFLE and other security measures.

Regards,
Stennie
