mongodb

has anyone got mongodb running on the Pandora?

I'm about to embark on several 7hr flights and I'd like to use my Pandora for coding PHP and mongodb.  I have the lighttpd-php working okay.

I downloaded mongodb tar file, extracted it to the SD1 card, but when I executed mongod or mongo from a Terminal I just get a 'bash: mongodb: command not found' error message.

anyone got any ideas?

You should install slackware. Not sure if Mongodb is supported but that's where you got the most chance of getting it running.

Yeah, it's listed in SlackBuilds.org.

indeed it is : http://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.0/system/mongodb/

I setup an 8Gb card with Slackware, installed nicely, thanks to the instructions on one of the threads.

I followed the instructions for nginx.  That built and output into the /tmp folder a .tgz and seemed to install okay (I say seemed as I cannot locate how to start nginx or where to place the html files or what happened to the /php folder that was in the original .tgz)

I hen followed the same process for mongdb, I downloaded the source 32 bit .tgz, dropped it into the extracted slackBuild folder and executed ./mongodb.SlackBuild

it errors as it cannot find a .tgz with 'arm' in the name, rather than the 'i686' that is the name of the .tgz linked on the web page.  I tried the obvious and changed the name to not have i686 but arm, that doesn't work either.

darn it.  I was hoping to have this up and running before my flight tomorrow.  :-(

[edit:]

just switching out the $ARCH for i686 in the .SlackBuild file doesn't do the trick either, it bombs out and Terminal disappears.

Use sbopkg to install programs:

installed sbopkg.   it's a nice front end.  sadly, when I run it for mongodb, I get the same error  :-(

it downloads the ....i686-2.4.5.tgz file and then complains that it cannot locate ....arm-2.4.5.tgz file.

thought I was onto a winner there.....

Looked at it.

So this SlackBuild grabs binaries and repackages them. Only x86 are available.

So you'll have to compile from source:

I saw some howto in the sources.
