Hi,
Please I would like to know how could I install the extension and the library of MongoDB on App Platform with PHP.
I’ve tested this composer.json and it doesn’t work:
code
{
"require": {
"ext-mongodb": "*"
}
}
I’ve also tested “ext-mongo” instead of “ext-mongodb”. And also “ext-mongodb”: “^1.10.0”.
It displays me this error: “Build Error: Non-Zero Exit”.
The MongoDB database is on Digitalocean, and it’s linked to the app as a component.
Thank you!

I don’t think that error is related to the MongoDB. Build Error: Non-Zero Exit means that during build/detection the app errored, since PHP apps generally don’t compile, this is commonly caused by a missing composer.lock file.
Also, DigitalOcean MongoDB instances require connecting with a CA certificate. You can use bind variables to inject it by creating an environment variable like: CA_CERT=${db-mongodb-nyc1-12345.CA_CERT}.
Hope this helps!
