I am trying to install Postgres in order to use Heroku.
I am following the instructions in the Heroku tutorial, and after Postgres installation (which was successful), it says to configure my .bash_profile to allow for Postgres command line functionality.
I am following the instructions here, but I am unable to successfully add this line:
export PATH=$PATH:/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/latest/bin
That folder does in fact contain "psql" on my computer, so it should work. Here is my current .bash_profile:
# Setting PATH for Python 2.7
# The orginal version is saved in .bash_profile.pysave
PATH="/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin:${PATH}"
export PATH
# The next line updates PATH for the Google Cloud SDK.
source '/Users/user/google-cloud-sdk/path.bash.inc'
# The next line enables shell command completion for gcloud.
source '/Users/user/google-cloud-sdk/completion.bash.inc'
I tried to add the Postgres line to the end of that file, but it is not working. After searching online, there does not seem to be consensus on how to add PATHs to .bash_profile. I have tried many versions listed, but none have worked.
Please let me know if I'm doing this incorrectly!
Add this line to the end of your .bash_profile:
export PATH=/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/latest/bin:$PATH
This makes the search of a binary to look in that location "BEFORE the rest of the PATH"
Kill all instances of terminal and open it again, then it should work.
Try which xxx where xxx is the name of some binary inside /Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/latest/bin and check if it's returning that location.
Tell me if it works.

I recently installed the version 4.4 of MongoDB,I followed all the instructions as in the documentation of mongodb.
As instructed by my tutor I created another folder named 'mongodb'in my pc,inside which I created another folder named 'data' as well.Now i went to the command prompt and entered into the same mongodb folder i created earlier and typed the following command.
C:\Users\Dell\mongodb>mongod --dbpath=data --bind_ip 127.0.0.1
When I press Enter I see an error :
'mongod' is not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file.
I am totally stuck in this.I even reinstalled mongodb again,but it is not working.
You might have a problem with path in Mongodb. After the installation process ends open a
Command Interpreter with Administrative privileges and run:
"C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.4\bin\mongo.exe"
Now afterward you can use the 'mongod' Command. If still you are unable go to the pre insatlled Mongodb folder copy the path upto bin .
Now go to :
controlpanel>system and security>system>Advanced system settings.
A dialogue box appears and then at the bottom there is the option for Environment Variables.Click on that.
If Mongodb variable already exit delete that and click on the path option. You might see a new option somewhere around click on that and input box appears.Now paste the copied path in that box and click save/Ok or sth to end the options.
Now you can use the 'mongod' command .
I've installed mongoDB on my windows 10 OS. Then I tried setting its database path to some directory by moving to it and typing mongod --datapath=data in cmd, where data is the folder which is to contain the db(I've used the relative path because I'm in that directory). But message comes that mongod is unrecognized command. After some searching I found that by specifying mongod path, i.e. "C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.4\bin\mongod.exe" --datapath=data works. Similar thing happens for mongo.
I want to directly run mongod and mongo commands, I have seen people directly using it(without going to the directory or specifying the path).
For a Windows installation, by default you have to use the full path to the exe unless you add it to the PATH.
To add it to the PATH:
01) Get path to bin, something like: C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.0\bin
02) Press the Windows key, type env, select Edit the system environment variables
03) On the Advanced tab, click Environment Variables
04) In the User variables for xxxx section, select path and then click the Edit... button
05) Click New and paste your path with a trailing slash, eg:
C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.0\bin\
06) Click OK, OK, OK and restart your command window.

The examples you have seen are probably based on UNIX installations which I think by default install mongo as a service (which Windows doesn't) and that is what is called in those examples.
To simplify startup and configuration on Windows, you can also install it as a service. See the Mongo documentation here and the
"Configure Windows Service for MongoDB' section".
This will then allow you to start and stop Mongo by simply calling
net start MongoDB
Or
net stop MongoDB
If installed MongoDB version is 6.0 or above, mongo command will not work on Powershell/cmd. If you run the command you will get the following error:
'mongo' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
To run mongo commands, you have to install MongoDB Shell from
After installing the shell, extract the zip file, you can rename the extracted folder (mongosh-1.6.0-win32-x64) as "MongoDB Shell" and move that folder to Windows(:C) > Program Files
Now open the folder, go to bin and copy the path:
C:\Program Files\MongoDB Shell\mongosh-1.6.0-win32-x64\bin (or
C:\Program Files\mongosh-1.6.0-win32-x64\mongosh-1.6.0-win32-x64\bin)
Go to
Settings > System > About > Advanced system settings > Environment
Variables > Under System Variables, click on 'Path' then 'Edit' >
Click 'New' and paste the above copied path > Click 'Ok' 'Ok' 'Ok'
Now open Powershell/cmd, run the command 'mongosh'
You're all set to work with MongoDB
To add it to the PATH:
Add Mongo’s bin folder to the Path Environment Variable
Kindly check the link:
here
After adding bin folder to the path Environment Variable
then simply type mongo in terminal it will start working
reference : Microsoft document
set your path like this
;C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.0\bin
this is worked for me.
Based on welshGaz answer above, I edited the User Path variable but it did not work for me yet. I wasn't able to access the System Path variables.
What I noticed from the errors on the command prompt is that it what missing the "C:\data\db" directory to store its files (I don't know what those files are for just yet). So I created that directory myself and it worked.
Same problem here. I installed through the .msi file provided for windows X64bit. In the installer instructions from MongoDB (https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-windows/), I read that you can add C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.2\bin to the System Path. Then it asks to omit the full path to the the MongoDB binaries. That is where I think some information is missing. How are we supposed to omit the full path to the MongoDB binaries?
Currently I can get MongoDB to run mongod using:
"C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.2\bin\mongod.exe" --dbpath="c:\data\db"
For --dbpath="c:\data\db" you can replace "c:\data\db" with the path to your database.
I can also run mongo using:
"C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.2\bin\mongo.exe"
Another reason to it if you enabled any property in YAML file and it is not formatted properly. YAML looks for specific syntax like colon":"+space" ".

authorization: enabled
use mongosh command from your terminal. mongo command no longer works for 6.0 and above.
if you are trying to connect from connection url eg mongodb://localhost:27017/yourdb try changing it to something like mongodb://127.0.0.1/yourdb
I'm using Mac Lion. I was using mongodb version 1.4. I wanted to upgrade to 1.8.5 and I followed http://shiftcommathree.com/articles/how-to-install-mongodb-on-os-x step wise replacing each mongodb-osx-x86_64-1.4.0 by mongodb-osx-x86_64-1.8.5. Everything goes smooth. I tried:
mongod
it's ok. I can access localhost:28017
but,
mongo
shows command not found
How can I fix this?
You need to add the path to "mongo" to your terminal shell.
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/mongodb/bin
Did you do the last step with paths.d? If so, try restarting your terminals.
Do you have a good reason for using 1.8.5? The current stable is 2.0.4, and it has many useful upgrades from 1.8.x
Starting from Mongodb version 6.0 mongo was replaced by mongosh
For readers in 2021:
export PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/opt/mongodb-community#3.6/bin"
You'll have to add the location of the Mongo binary to PATH.
Follow the steps below in order to make the PATH variable permanent:
Open Terminal and navigate to your user directory.
Run touch ~/.bash_profile and then open ~/.bash_profile.
In TextEdit, add export PATH="<mongo-directory>/bin:$PATH" (Keep the quote marks - related to white spaces).
Save the .bash_profile file and Quit (Command + Q) Text Edit.
Run source ~/.bash_profile.
Run echo $PATH and check if the you see that the Mongo binary was added.
(*) Notice that the PATH variable is now available only for the current terminal and not to processes that were already started in the session.
In order to make it available outside the current terminal - you'll have to logout and login.
1.Go to your [mongodb installation dir]:
cd <mongodb installation dir>
2.Type ./bin/mongo to start mongo:

I was facing the same problem this worked for me.
you need to install mongodb shell to ge the mongo command working.
Download link
I didn't have the right mongo command line tools installed. This from Brew worked for me though.
brew install mongodb-community
just a little recommandation, if your path has a space just wrap the whole path with quote or doublequote
example : C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.2 . notice the space in "Program Files"
export PATH=$PATH:"C:/Program Files/MongoDB/Server/X.X/bin"
in place of mongo command use mongosh command and it will work.

I had this in my Windows services:
C:/Program Files/PostgreSQL/8.4/bin/pg_ctl.exe runservice -N "postgresql-8.4" -D "D:/PostgreSQL/8.4/data" -w
It never finishes executing. But if I did this on the dos shell:
C:/Program Files/PostgreSQL/8.4/bin/pg_ctl.exe start -N "postgresql-8.4" -D "D:/PostgreSQL/8.4/data" -w
Notice that I only changed the "runservice" to "start" and it works just fine.
Any idea?
The command runservice can only be executed by the service manager
in order to fix my localhost windows 7 to start postgres as a service
i used the following command to start the data
pg_ctl -D "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.1\data" start
Then checked the status for errors
pg_ctl -D "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.1\data" status
if you get error 1063 , its more than likely permissions, i executed the following command
cacls "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.1\data" /E /T /C /G postgres:F
then reran the start/status, it showed everything fine, but still service manager would not start the service
So, in Services->postgresql->options->logon i set the log on as the Local system account instead of the postgres user, and voila it worked
this happened to me because i set my data directory to be somewhere the postgres windows user account didn't have access to.
I had this problem in Windows after a system crash. Running the first command showed invalid data in C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.1\data\postmaster.pid. Deleting that file did the trick. Reference.
I faced the same issue after moving manually the database data files (PG_DATA directory) without recreating all the necessary permissions.
Here is how I solved my issue:
1. Check permissions on old PG_DATA directory:
cacls "c:\path\to\old\pgdata\dir"
2. Check permissions on new PG_DATA directory:
cacls "d:\path\to\NEW\pgdata\dir"
3. Compare outputs from 1. and 2.
Find the differences between users and/or permissions then synchronize them.
Nota: I found it easier to use explorer for the synchronization step rather than using cacls directly from the command line.
If you changed pg_hba.conf , maybe you missed somewhere in file. For example there must be CIDR after IP in that file. It must be like 192.168.1.100/32
If you forgot to put 32, then server doesnt restart.
Investigation of startup logs could be a clue. For the case problem is in the pg_hba.conf you could see something like this:
2018-11-13 00:39:34.841 PST [8284] FATAL: could not load pg_hba.conf
2018-11-13 00:39:34.842 PST [8284] LOG: database system is shut down
You need to check your logfiles and the windows eventlog for some hint of what the problem is. If there is nothing at all there, you need to break out something like Process Monitor and get a stacktrace of where it's hung.
I have had this issue in the past, and it was that the installer did not set up the permissions correctly for the user that the service was to run as.
I've also ran into this problem with postgresql throwing and error after trying to initialize the database cluster. After analyzing the log files and running command line scripts for 4 hours I've got the solution to anyone running into this problem for Windows Versions.
This is not a detailed description as to why its happening. I've installed odoo 10, 11, 12 and 13 numerous times on countless client servers and windows systems and this is the first time I've ever ran into this problem. I cant say if its because I have MS VS Enterprise installed and Android Studio on this machine or what. But Below is the easy answer on how to fix it and initialize the cluster and create the database files in the data folder.
Open the data folder for postgresql. - For Odoo installs it will normally be "C:\Program Files (x86)\Odoo 13.0\PostgreSQL" Unless you chose another location when installing.
Remove any or all files from this folder - If not you will get an error when running initdb.exe
Right click the data folder and open up the properties for it. Click on the Security tab and then click the advanced button on the bottom.
You need to change the owner of this folder to openpgsvc. Click Change and type in openpgsvc and click ok. Once done click the check box below saying that you want this change to affect containers with this container as well.
Then on the Permissions tab click the add button on the bottom. You need to add openpgsvc as a user and give this user full rights. Click apply and and ok to close out of all the folder properties.
Now you need to open cmd.exe - Once open we are going to call initdb.exe and pass some values to it as well.
First run chdir and change the working directory to the location of initdb.exe. For me, running odoo 13 on a windows 10 machine the location is this..
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Odoo 13.0\PostgreSQL\bin"
There is one variable that need to be passed as well to make this work here is the list. NEEDS TO BE INCLUDED IN THE CALL TO initdb.exe
Postgres Data Dir: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Odoo 13.0\PostgreSQL\data"
The End Result with the parameter would look like this for my installation:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Odoo 13.0\PostgreSQL\bin\initdb.exe" -D "C:\Program Files (x86)\Odoo 13.0\PostgreSQL\data"
Hit Enter and let it rip. The output of this command should look like this below.
Cmd.exe running initdb.exe script
Make sure there is no buggy empty file Program at C:\ like C:\Program
In this case, explorer will warn whenever you log on into Windows.
File Name Warning
-----------------
There is a file or folder on your computer called "C:\Program" which
could cause certain applications to not function correctly. Renaming it
to "C:\Program1" would solve this problem. Would you like to rename
it now?
Installing PostgreSQL 10 On Windows 7 (yes the clock is ticking...). I first tried the latest version 11 which completely failed to install... not a good sign for Windows users. Anyway.
Quick answer: Change the account in the Windows Services panel from Network to Local.
Details of my case
During installation I created/selected a data folder in the user profile folder, because obviously the folder suggested by default, within the program folder, wouldn't work, and if it worked it would be a very idea to put data here (I don't know whether it's usual to do that on Unix/Linux, but for Windows it's it's not allowed for a long time).
At the end (when populating the data cluster) I received an error:
Failed to load SQL Modules into database Cluster
but the installation was able to complete. I found two pages about previous error, here and here, but they didn't seem relevant to my case, so I just started pgAdmin and, on the left "browser", saw the server wasn't active.
I tried to start it from here (had to type the main password), but it went inactive immediately again. So I tried to use the Windows services panel to start "postgresql-x64-10", no joy. I copied the command from this panel and pasted it into a Windows console (cmd.exe) where I finally received this
error 1063.
Searching I found this related question, and was convinced the problem was about permissions.
Solution working for my case
In the services panel I changed the account used to start the service from Network Service to Local System as suggested in a comment by #AlexanderRios.
sc create "postgresql-9.2" binPath= "\"C:/Program Files (x86)/PostgreSQL/9.2/bin/pg_ctl.exe\" runservice -N \"postgresql-9.2\" -D \"C:/Program Files (x86)/PostgreSQL/9.2/data\" -w" DisplayName= "postgresql-9.2" start= auto
Try this on CMD run as Administrator
(Add your parameters depend on your version)
Stop all postgres processes
Go to the postgres data folder (C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.6\data)
Delete the postmaster.opts and postmaster.pid files
From the control panel, in administrative
tools and the services console start the postgres service
open pgAdmin III and then in right pane find server then just right click and connect, enter the password. after connected go to the browser and refresh ODOO. Problem solved.
