Fatal error: class "MongoDate" was not found when using mongodb php driver 1.1.2 and PHP 7.0.2 - Laravel 5.1

Question

I am trying to configure MongoDB to work with my Laravel 5.1 Homestead instance on an Ubuntu 14.04 virtual machine. I was able to successfully install the latest version of MongoDB, which supports PHP 7.0 using sudo pecl install mongodb(this is correct for 7.0, not sudo pecl install mongo).

Then I added the extension to my php.ini files (all three) on my Ubuntu computer, each of which:

• /etc/php/7.0/cli/php.ini
• /etc/php/7.0/fpm/php.ini
• /etc/php/7.0/cgi/php.ini

This is the extension I wrote that is correct for use with PHP 7.0:

• extension=mongodb.so (not more than mongo.so)

When I run phpinfo()in my browser, it indicates that MongoDB is configured correctly with my PHP 7.0.

If MongoDB is configured correctly, why do I keep getting:

Fatal error: Class 'MongoDate' not found

php artisan migrate:refresh --seed?

:

• Ubuntu vagrant reload vagrant reload --provision
• PHP Nginx sudo service nginx restart sudo service php7.0-fpm restart
