How to start Mongo DB server from Windows? - mongodb

I have installed MongoDB 3.6.3 on my Window 8.1(64 bit) machine. I have created the path data/db too but when I tried to start mongodb using the command 'C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.6\bin', it is not starting. It showing a message "the program can't start because api-ms-win-crt-convert-l1-1-0.dll is missing from your computer". Anyone help me to start Mongo DB server. Thanks in advance.

Open CMD
nevigate to C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.6\bin [Your mongodb installed location]
Then run command as mongod --dbpath E:\sangram\mongo_workspace --port 27017
[E:\sangram\mongo_workspace] is my local directory where i'll store my mongodb data

getting error while connecting to mongo.exe [duplicate]

I'm trying to run Mongo from the Command-Line:
What's wrong? (I've IIS on localhost:80). And Apache on port 8080. Are there any issues
with this?
C:\MONGO\Project1\mongo\bin>mongo --port 27017
MongoDB shell version: 2.0.3
connecting to: 127.0.0.1:27017/test
Sat Mar 10 16:16:45 Error: couldn't connect to server 127.0.0.1:27017 shell/mong
o.js:86
exception: connect failed
I found that when I got this error it wasn't because I didn't have my default db path set up. It was because I was trying to run mongo.exe before running mongod.exe.
Did you create the default db path?
It defaults to "/data/db directory (or c:\data\db on Windows)"
Source: http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Starting+and+Stopping+Mongo
As Admin, create directory:
mkdir c:\mongo\data\db
As Admin, install service:
.\mongod.exe --install --logpath c:\mongo\logs --logappend --bind_ip 127.0.0.1 --dbpath c:\mongo\data\db --directoryperdb
Start MongoDB:
net start MongoDB
Start Mongo Shell:
c:\mongo\bin\mongo.exe
Follow
Create default db folder.
c:\data\db
and also log folder
c:\data\log\mongo.log
or use following commands in command-prompt
mkdir c:\data\log
mkdir c:\data\db
Create config file in bin folder of mongo (or you may in save your desired destination).
Add following in text file named "mongod" and save it as
mongod.cfg
dbpath=c:\data\db
logpath=c:\data\log\mongo.log
or use following commands in command-prompt
echo dbpath=c:\data\db>> "mongod.cfg"
echo logpath=c:\data\log\mongo.log>> "mongod.cfg"
Now open command-prompt (administrator) and run the following command to start mongo server
mongod
Open another command-prompt (don't close 1st prompt) and run client command:
mongo
Hope this will help or you have done this already.
The error occurs when trying to run mongo.exe WITHOUT having executed mongod.exe.
The following batch script solved the problem:
#echo off
cd C:\mongodb\bin\
start mongod.exe
start mongo.exe
exit
If you are getting these type of errors when running mongod from command line or running mongodb server,
then follow these steps,
Create db and log directories in C: drive
C:/data/db and C:data/log
Create an empty log file in log dir named mongo.log
Run mongod from command line to run the mongodb server or create a batch file on desktop which can run the mongod.exe file from your mongodb installation direction. That way you just have to click the batch file from your desktop and mongodb will start.
If you have 32-bit system, try using --journal with mongod command.
Create default db folder.
c:\data\db
and also log folder
c:\data\log\mongo.log
or use following commands in command-prompt
mkdir c:\data\log
mkdir c:\data\db
you can use below command,
mongod --dbpath=D:\home\mongodata
where D:\home\mongodata is the data storage path
Go to C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.4\bin using cmd and
write mongod.
Open another cmd by right click and run as admin point to your
monogodb installed directory as mentioned above and then just like
write this mongo.exe
After that, write db.test.save({Field:'Hello mongodb'}) this command
will insert a field having name Field and value is Hello
mongodb.
After, check the record db.test.find() and press enter you will find
the record that you have recently entered.
Steps to start a certain local MongoDB instance and to connect to in from NodeJS app:
Create mongod.cfg for a new database using the path C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.0\mongod.cfg with the content
systemLog:
destination: file
path: C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.0\log\mongod.log
storage:
dbPath: C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.0\data\db
Install mongoDB database by running
mongod.exe --config "C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.0\mongod.cfg" --install
Run a particular mongoDB database
mongod.exe --config "C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.0\mongod.cfg"
Run mongoDB service
mongo 127.0.0.1:27017/db
and !see mongoDB actual connection string to coonect to the service from NodeJS app
MongoDB shell version v4.0.9
connecting to: mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/db?gssapiServiceName=mongodb
Implicit session: session { "id" : UUID("c7ed5ab4-c64e-4bb8-aad0-ab4736406c03") }
MongoDB server version: 4.0.9
Server has startup warnings:
...
For this error, if you are using windows 7 or windows server 2008 R2, the problem could be that you have to install a microsoft hotfix.

Changing MongoDB 3.6 default db path in Windows

I just installed a new MongoDB 3.6 on my Windows machine. Now I'm trying to change the default DB path. So I tried this:
"C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.6\bin\mongod.exe" --dbpath c:\mongodb\data
It worked, but only until I restarted Mongo. Then it was back to usual c:\data\db.
I tried to google it, saw some info about changing a mongod.conf file, but I can't find this file in my installation.
Any suggestions?
Save this script in a Batch File(Mongo.bat) and run it every time:
"C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.6\bin\mongod.exe" --dbpath c:\mongodb\data
You need to start mongod with same command everytime:
C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.6\bin\mongod.exe" --dbpath c:\mongodb\data
Or you can create a configuration file and install mongo as a service.

mongo: failed to connect to server [localhost:27017]

what can I do to solve this problem? I'm on windows so I can't run sudo mongo I tried to do "runas" in windows instead of linux "sudo" but it didn;t help me out. I was looking for a fle called monogod.lock to remove it but didn't find something like that...I tried mongo repair but it also didn't help me...help someone?
btw...I tried to start mongo.exe from it's directory in another CMD but it failed also:
Seems you have not started the Mongo DB Server.
Do the followings.
In Windows, start Command Prompt.
Run mongod.exe to start Mongo DB Server.(This will work only if your environment variable PATH contains the bin directory of your Mongo DB installation)
Open another Command Prompt and start client by running mongo.exe.
Check this link which might help you.
MongoError: failed to connect to server [localhost:27017] on first connect
oh guys I finally got that! when you run mongod.exe on windows you should also give it the path of the directory if not it won't work! if somehow you'll have a mongod.lock on your directory you should delete this file than write on CMD mongod.exe repair and start running it again! thanks to all =]
In linux
1.- In the terminal
$ sudo systemctl start mongodb
$ mongo

connecting to test mongoDB is failed

I am new in mongoDB
I have tried to install mongoDB on win 8 - 32 bit
I followed "The Definitive Guide To MongoDB 2010" by Apress.
I pasted the file in C drive root "mongodb-win32-i386-2.4.6"
Then I created nested folder in C
data/db ,
As the book was mentioned.
After that I opened cmd :
cd C:\ mongodb-win32-i386-2.4.6
cd bin\
up to here everything went well
then I tried to connect to mongo
but :
mongo
couldn't connect to server 127.0.0.1:27017 at src/mongo/shell/mongo.js:145
exception: connect failed
occured.
Where is problem?
Thanks in advance
First Thing is
MongoDB is almost always run as a network server that clients can connect to and
perform operations on so
create a folder data and in that db folder i.e., c:\data\db
First we need to start the server with the command mongod.exe avial in your bin folder
like C:\mongodb-win32-i386-2.4.6\bin\mongod.exe
Run the mongo.exe avail in the bin folder like C:\mongodb-win32-i386-2.4.6\bin\mongo.exe
Know How to stop the mongod.exe
from the client we need to issue these commands
use admin
db.shutdownServer()
then automatically mongod will shut and you need to quit from client with exit command
HAVE A NICE DAY WITH MONGO
The database itself is an executable called mongod.exe (mongoDB daemon). First you need to start this one. When it is running, you can use mongo.exe (mongoDB shell) to connect to it and issue commands.
For more information, read the article "Install MongoDB on Windows" from the official manual.
i have tried the binary files from https://www.mongodb.org/dl/win32/i386
After installing above binary file please go to bin directory (C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.2\bin -> default installation directory) and run following command
mongod.exe --journal --storageEngine=mmapv1 --dbpath c:\data\db
Note:make sure that you have already created the c:\data\db directory
Also if you need a GUI interface for mongodb, you can use Mongobooster

Mac Installing Mongodb

I used brew to installed the mongoDB. Created the database and permission.
Suns-MacBook-Pro:~ Dawn$ mongod
all output going to: /usr/local/var/log/mongodb/mongo.log
Suns-MacBook-Pro:~ Dawn$ mongo
MongoDB shell version: 2.2.2
connecting to: test
It keeps connecting after 5 minutes. Any suggestions what problem here
I would use the --dbpath to set the data directory.
Example: mongod --dbpath /var/mongodata
/var/mongodata should be created first.
