I recently installed MongoDB Community Edition on macOS. The manual says to use brew services start mongodb-community#4.0 to start the server.
When I want to shutdown the server, I enter mongo shell and type use admin and then type db.shutdownServer(). But when I reboot the computer, the server is auto started. How do I prevent it from auto starting at reboot in MacOS?
Your computer can have multiple LaunchAgents folders.
My homebrew.mxcl.mongodb-community.plist file was under:
/Users/YOUR-USERNAME/Library/LaunchAgents/
Deleting it should solve this issue. After that a manual start is needed.
To prevent mongo from autoload on Mac just delete or move this file: ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.mongodb.plist

Installing MongoDB as a service is failing for me. The install gets to the point where it tries to start the service and then fails:
Service 'MongoDB Server' (MongoDB) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services
This in on a freshly updated new install of Windows 2016
Near default MongoDB 4.2 community install.
Install MongodB as a Service
- Run service as Network Service user.
Directories are not default.
Data Directory : C:\Database\Data
Log Directory : C:\Database\Log
I've granted Network Service full permissions on C:\Database
.net framework 4.6 is installed.
Am I the first person to install MongoDB as a service or something?
Hard to believe someone didn't catch this before.
Update:
Installing to the default directories works. Brutal QA. Any fix to this?
Well, in case someone else comes across this...
One solution is to just install to the default directories, then after the install is done, stop the service, change the cfg to point to the directories you want and copy the files over. Then start it up.
Check path of the MongoDB service by runninng Win+R, type services.msc in opened window find MongoDB server double click it. Here what I see when installed MongoDB to custom folder C:\mongodb MongoDB server path
You probably need to install it into default folder or change path to executable in services.
In latter case run Win+R type there regedit.exe go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MongoDB and change ImagePath key.
In my case key was "C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.2\bin\mongod.exe" --config "C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.2\bin\mongod.cfg" --service
and I changed it into "C:\mongodb\bin\mongod.exe" --config "C:\mongodb\bin\mongod.cfg" --service
restart
I am new to mongodb and not getting how to install it since i dint find videos or any helpful resources to achieve the same. Please help me for installing mongodb on windows 7 with the exact steps. I tried downloading recent version of mongodb from the site and its unsuccessful. Thanks in adcance.
Regards,

Steps:
Download MongoDB this link link.
Review MongoDB folder.
In MongoDB, it contains only executable files 10 Plus(exe) in the bin folder. This is true, and That are the required files to MongoDB, it's really hard to believe for a developer like me Who eats from a relation database background.
path:- Files under $MongoDB/bin folder
Configuration File
Create a MongoDB config file, it’s just a text file, for example C:\mongodb\mongo.config:
#store data here
dbpath=C:\mongodb\data
\\all output go here
logpath=C:\mongodb\log\mongo.log
\\log read and write operations
diaglog=3
Run MongoDB server
Use mongod.exe --config C:\mongodb\mongo.config to start MongoDB server.
C:\mongodb\bin>mongod --config C:\mongodb\mongo.config
All output going to: C:\mongodb\log\mongo.log
Connect to MongoDB
Uses mongo.exe to connect to the started MongoDB server.
C:\mongodb\bin>mongo
MongoDB shell version: 2.2.3
connecting to: test
//mongodb shell
MongoDB as Windows Service
Add MongoDB as Windows Service, so that MongoDB will start automatically following each system restart.
Install as Windows Service with --install.
C:\mongodb\bin> mongod --config C:\mongodb\mongo.config --install
A Windows service named “MongoDB” is created.
To start MongoDB Service:
net start MongoDB
To stop MongoDB Service
net stop MongoDB
To remove MongoDB Service
C:\mongodb\bin>mongod --remove
Reference Link Install Mongodb
For mongoDB 4.x, I got installation hung up several times in "wait for a few minutes..."
I changed to v3.2.21-1 as recommended from searching the answer from web. It installed very quick and fast as I installed one year ago.
firstly you downloaded mongodb from here : https://www.mongodb.com/download-center?jmp=nav#community
you unzip the folder in your directory example C:\..\MongoDB
you open the command prompt ( demarrer>Invite commande)
you go to your folder where the bin is and you write this on your command prompt : cd c:\..\mongodb\bin
then you have to specifies the directory where you want to put the data, you can create a folder called : MongoData, and you whrite on your command prompt: Mongod --dbpath C:\..\MongoData
Download the version 4.0.22 from here
And follow steps from Use this tutorial to install MongoDB 5.0 Community Edition on Windows using the default installation wizard
All the best!!!
use mongodb-win32-x86_64-2008plus-ssl-3.2.22-signed for Windows7 64 bit
I am using Windows 32-bit machine and tried to start MongoDB service from Windows > services as shown below.
However, I am unable to start the MongoDB service from it and throws the following error.
When I try using cmd prompt, I am getting the following error:
Network Failed to connect to 127.0.0.1:27017, reason: errno:10061 No
connection could be made because the target machine actively refused
it.
Error: Couldn't connect to server 127.0.0.1:27017 <127.0.0.1>,
connection attempt failed.
I had same an issue.
Try to remove mongod.lock file from your Mongo data directory.
For example mine is "C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Data\mongod.lock" and after deleting file start the MongoDB service and it's work like charm.
In case someone else is running into this problem, just read your Log files and you will be able to find the problem, for me after trying to install it inside wamp directory when I run the MongoDB service it gave me the same error message, I went to the logs and find out that I was missing a directory inside my data directory which is called db, once I have created this directory the service run perfectly.
MongoDB uses a default folder to store its files. On Windows, the default location is C:\data\db.
Maybe that folder doesn´t exist. In that case just creat it or change the default location of Mongo service using the --dbpath command-line flag.
So I just had the same problem, running on Windows 10. The reason why MongoDB didn't start was because the path to the data and logs was not correctly set. This has already been pointed out, but my solution is different. Look in C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.0\bin (or wherever your mongoDB is installed). There is a config file called mongod.cfg. Check that
storage:
dbPath:
and
systemLog:
path:
Is set to what you want. In my case, it was using environment variables %MONGODBPATH% or similar that was not set by Windows. By default, the log and data should point to C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.0\data and C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.0\log\mongod.log respectively.
There was a npm: in last line of mongodb configuration file which is located in the installation folder in the bin\mongod.cfg
I commented out that line and started the service and it is working like charm.
I concluded this by running the mongodb service command from windows command line(cmd) and I got an error.
I ran this to spot the error:
C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.2\bin\mongod.exe --config "C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.2\bin\mongod.cfg" --service
mongod.lock deletion did not helped me, repair did not help either. In my case it was due to one of database happened to be corrupted, I moved all dbs to another directory and then copied them back one by one and re-starting mongodb service to figure out what db file is corrupted. It's definitely MongoDb bug
I had the same error message. Try to locate the mongodb log files and look at the last entries. My issue was clearly stated there, a missing directory :
2019-01-29T16:59:44.424+0100 I STORAGE [initandlisten] exception in
initAndListen: NonExistentPath: Data directory
C:\wamp64\bin\mongodb\mongodb-win32-x86_64-2008plus-ssl-3.6.10\data\db
not found., terminating
The advice of checking the log was what helped me. In this case:
The MongoDB service could not be started. A service specific error occurred: 100
turns out I had a problem with some databases created with WiredTiger while the mongod.cfg specified engine was: mmapv1
So I basically removed the content of the folder c:/data/db/ and then used the command net start MondoBD --repair and worked. Uffff it´s been 2 days.
I'm here a bit late, very late actually. But may it works something out for the ones facing this issue now. Mongodb configuration file in Windows OS is under 'C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\%YOUR MONGO VERSION%'.
I had changed this file and manipulated the bindip field, so I was getting the same error. It should be 127.0.0.1 or your machine's IP address which you can find it by 'ipconfig/all' command in cmd. So I fixed bindip and the service starts with no problems.
stuck on the same issue, but got the solution by hit and trial, just create a new folder for path "C:\data\db" then go to your command prompt and type 'mongod', your database server will start.
For me it was a port problem :
just search and kill the process using the port 27017
for linux : https://bobcares.com/blog/mongodb-error-code-48/
for windows : How do I kill the process currently using a port on localhost in Windows?
I have found out that Visual C++ Redistributable was missing in my Windows 7 Machine. After installing it worked.
For Windows 10 users
specify database location, if don't know create the below-mentioned directory and always use this
open cmd
mkdir C:\users\{username}\data
cd C:\users\{username}\data
mongod --dbpath .
start mongodb server
open cmd
mongod --dbpath C:\users\{username}\data
stop mongodb
open cmd
mongo
if server is running, run:
use admin
db.shutdownServer()
quit()
In my case, this happened because I did not stop MongoDB from docker. after I stopped the process the error was gone.
In my case, it was the docker with MongoDB running on the same port. So after I stopped the container, the service is then successfully starting.
On fresh install of Ubuntu 14.04, I have installed mongodb 2.6.3 from mongo package,
problem is, that it does not start on reboot. It starts normally when I do
sudo service mongod start
and there are no errors in log file.
but when I reboot, log file has no new entries and
service mongod status
produces
mongod stop/waiting
I have tried mongod --repair, with no effect. I have tried fresh install of Ubuntu 14.04, as I thought that my older many times upgraded OS might have something wrong with it, but nothing changed.
With older version mongo that comes from ubuntu package manager, everything was starting up nicely.
Can you please give some advice on where to look to fix this issue and make mongod start up when system is booted up. Thanks!
Had the same problem. In the log file there was an:
************
Unclean shutdown detected
Please visit http://dochub.mongodb.org/core/repair for recovery instructions.
************
To solve this error, I just removed the lock file and it worked again.
sudo rm /var/lib/mongodb/mongod.lock
I believe the issue is that mongo upstart job checks if mongo is installed by the package manager. You need to edit the upstart job to use the new from-source binary location (which I think is /opt/mongodb/bin/mongod).
I try to install mongodb on window 8 .

how Can I Install Mongodb Service?
Open Command with "Run as Administrator",that solved my problem
For anyone that happens to try to create a mongodb service on Windows 8 and follows the instructions on MongoDB's website AND still is unable to create the service successfully - I've written this post that explains how I got it to work after experiencing problems trying to set the mongo service on my Windows 8 laptop. Hope it helps!
Here are the steps that you really need to follow to create a Windows service for MongoDB in Windows 8:
Installing MongoDB on Windows 8
Download and install MongoDB. You can download the 32 or 64-bit version from here.
Make sure you install MongoDB in a folder that you can easily remember, for example: c:\mongodb\
Add directories c:\mongodb\log and c:\mongodb\data
Add log file c:\mongodb\log\mongo.log
Creating a Windows service for MongoDB
Open your command window and type the following:
cd c:\mongodb\bin\mongod.exe --install --rest -master -logpath=c:\mongodb\log\mongo.log
Open the registry settings, press the Windows key and R at the same time and then type regedit in the Run command window.
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE >> SYSTEM >> CurrentControlSet >> services
Find out MongoDB directory & edit ImagePath key
Set key value as:
C:\mongodb\bin\mongod --service --rest --master --logpath=C:\mongodb\logs\mongo.log --dbpath=C:\mongodb\data
Save and exit registry editor.
Open Services by pressing the Windows key and R at the same time and then type services.msc in the Run command window and click OK.
Find the MongoDB service and right-click on it, select Properties
Make sure the service is set to start automatically and start the service as shown below.
Open your browser and go to http://localhost:28017/ to see if MongoDB is running correctly, you should see a page full of MongoDB details.

error message suggest you don't have admin privileges.

thanks for answer Moacy Barros but problem was not for this because i run all commands in Command Prompt with “Administrative Privileges:”" problem was for mongod.cfg if mongod.cfg config by manual in editor this problem solve that we didn't need to do this in window 7 or server 2008
Edit::
in older windows when installing MongoDB < 2.2 that i was tested. in Configure directories and files step
echo logpath="C:\Program Files\MongoDB\log\mongo.log" > "C:\Program Files\MongoDB\mongod.cfg"
it make mongod.cfg for your mongodb but it wasn't make for me in window 8 for that i make it by manual like
logpath=C:\mongodb\log\mongo.log
logappend=true
dbpath = E:\data
