Unable to connect Mongodb

I have installed mongodb ans Studio 3T on windows 10, 64 bit system but when I run
mongod --auth --dbpath C:\data\db --storageEngine wiredTiger
this command, it says 'mongod' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
I am not sure why this error comes even mongo.exe and mongod.exe is available under "C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.0\bin" folder
Please help.
Yes, because you need to cd into the directory where the mongodb folders are created when you installed it.
For windows:- C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.6\ as per click here
Details Steps for you:-
cd C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.0\bin
check for mongo.exe, mongod.exe and etc.
mongod.exe --auth --dbpath C:\data\db --storageEngine wiredTiger
you should be able to connect now.
Note:- Above steps assumes that Mongodb service is running. If not Click here
OR you can add the path C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.0\bin to enviornment variable.
I have solved the problem, just added "C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.0\bin" path to environmental variable.

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:

Mongo is unable to start

I'm trying to start mongo uin windows10 by type: mongo in cmd.
I am getting this error:
C:\Users\Itzik>mongo

I have opened port 27017 in the firewall,
and restart mongo's services
and it still dont work.
what could it be?
Have you started the server? Mongodb follows a server-client architecture. mongo is the client, but before it is started you need to start mongod, which is the server.
If you haven't, start the server in advance in a different console:
mongod --dbpath "c:\data"
replacing c:\data by any folder where you want to store your data (you need to create the folder in advance).
If mongod is not in the path look in the installation path, it should be something like C:\mongodb\bin\mongod.exe.
When the server says something like 'waiting for connections', then you can go to another console and type mongo to start the client.
In C:\Program Files\MongoDB\ you might not have permission to create file/folder for your user. And mongo installer cannot create it because of lack of Administrative permission for your user.
So in C:\Program Files\MongoDB:
Create a folder named data
Create a folder named db inside the folder data
Now right click on the data folder and choose properties
Click security tab and select your user there
Click the Full control select box
Click ok, ok, ok ...
important! if you don't have the path "C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.4\bin" set in environment variable, please set it.
Now go to shell and type : mongod --dbpath "C:\Program Files\MongoDB\data\db"
That's it :)
First start the server.
Goto your installation path. Mine was in "Program Files/Mongodb/server/bin"
You will find a "mongod.exe" application.
However, the server will look for "C:/data" folder for all the databases.
So create the "C:/data" folder.
Now start the mongod.exe using command prompt.
>>mongod
After this you may start the client
>>mongo
This worked out for me.
Open the terminal as Administrator.
(You can simply do this by searching cmd in start and then right click and select "Run as administrator")
Go to bin directory of your MongoDB folder.
cd C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.4\bin
Type following command to start mongodb server :
mongod --dbpath "C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.4\bin\Data"
now, server will be waiting for connections.
Open a new command prompt(again as Administrator)
Go to bin directory.
cd C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.4\bin
Type following command:
mongo
This will show you a prompt of mongodb :
>
Thanks.
if u install by brew (on osx)
first run sudo mkdir /data/db
start mondoDB Daemon by typing mongod (leave it open) and then
run mongo by typing mongo in new terminal tab
I also have faced the same problem.
First i have typed mongodb in my command prompt ,It displays "waiting for connection on 27017" that means it is working.
Then i type mongo in another Command prompt Window then above error occurred.
I was having both .dll files in my xampp\php\ext folder.
(php_mongo.dll and php_mongodb.dll)
I deleted Php_mongodb.dll and also it's extension from php.ini file.
Again restart command prompt,Type mongod and then mongo
Now working correctly.
First set the path in Enviroment Variables, C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.6\bin
after that use bellow command
C:\>mkdir data
C:\>cd data
C:\data>mkdir db
C:\data\db>
Then go to bin directory and select mongod.exe or use mongod. Without closing previous cmd
open a new cmd and start the client using mongo
Now it will work.
This issue is resolved by creating a data directory
Then move to the bin folder of mongodb or setting path information in environment variables
Then you can enter the following command,
mongod --dbpath 'path of the data folder including data directory name'
Eg: mongod --dbpath c:\users\codemaker\data

MongoDB 3.0 Windows Service Start : System Error 2 has occured

I have downloaded the MongoDB Windows msi install and run this successfully.
The mongod.exe and mongo.exe command file executions work properly.
The installation manual shows how to create the configuration file, and then to create the Windows Server using the command
sc.exe create MongoDB binPath= "\"C:\mongodb\mongod.exe\" --service --config=\"C:\mongodb\mongod.cfg\""
This creates a SUCCESS response.
The service is then started
net start MongoDB
but this produces the response
System Error 2 has occurred.
The system cannot find the file specified.
The resolution, for those who need this, is that the manual indicates the incorrect default path for mongod.exe, which should be in the bin directory
C:\mongodb\bin\mongod.exe
Thus, whereas this is a question, I have also solved this for the benefit of others who may have this problem.
Also, by default, MongoDB will install in C:\Program Files in Windows, and you should use the custom install to put it into C:\mongodb.
It can be possible that you already have a service named "MongoDB" before your installation and thus it is not successfully installed.
try to remove the previous one using this:
"C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.4\bin\mongod.exe" --remove
and then you can try install the service again and fire the net start MongoDB command. It should work now.
I have faced this problem.And I solved as below.
1) Create this folders
C:\data\db
C:\data\log
2)Run CMD as administrator
C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe
3)If you've installed service , write below to cmd to remove
C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.6\bin> mongod.exe --remove
4) This is important , I don't use sc.exe Determine the log and db directory ,and instal service
C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.6\bin> mongod.exe --logpath c:\data\log\mongod.log --dbpath c:\data\db --directoryperdb --install
5)If success
net start MongoDB
After having installed mongodb in C:\mongodb you just do:
mongod --install --logpath C:\mongodb\logs\mongo.log
The path to the logfile must exist and it must be an absolute Windows path. Then you start the MongoDB service by typing:
net start MongoDB

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
