I have tried to start mongod.exe from my 2008 R2 server and im getting this error:
I CONTROL Hotfix kb2731284 or a later update is not installed, will zero-out files.
I didnt find any update or what is I CONTROL, someone have encounter with the problem?
Thank you.
Well, I just faced the same issue. I installed the fix, but saw nothing but same error. So that's how I got over it: just create a folder structure in your C catalog like this one: C:\data\db. So it worked for me perfectly. I use Windows 7 x64.
I had to run the command in following format & it worked for me:
C:\mongodb\bin\mongod.exe --dbpath d:\test\mongodb\data
Ref: Original documentation link
In my case the problem was that I had a space in my data path: E:\Program Files\MongoDB\Data\
I ran dir /x within E:\ to get the short path for Program Files and used the short path instead: mongod.exe --dbpath E:\PROGRA~1\MongoDB\Data\
It worked. Shocking that spaces in paths are still an issue!
The above error comes when mongodb not found the directory like "C:\data\db" which is by default when you install mongodb on your machine.
So just go to c drive create a directory like "data\db" and now run the command "mongodb.exe".
If you want to relocate the database location to any other drive say D drive in that case create a directory like "D:\mongodb\data" and run the command like "mongodb.exe --dbpath d:\mongodb\data".
I got the similar error
I CONTROL Hotfix kb2731284 or a later update is installed, will zero-out files.
Notice the message says later update is installed not later update is not installed in my case. But It was not starting the server.
Creating a different folder structure for the db Drive\<mongo-db-folder>\<yourdb>and providing it with --dbpath flag while running the mongod worked for me. The short name for Program Files PROGRA~1 didn't work for me. Maybe this has something to do with the rights managment.
This known issue is in Windows 7. In Windows 8 this problem haven't appeared yet.
Firstly I would recommend to change your mongo installation path to path with folders names without gaps. For example, default mongo installation path is C:\program files\bla-bla... to avoid a wasting of time for looking for solutions of this issue, change your path to C:\mongo.. and make sure that you haven't names with gaps in your path.
After that install this hot-fix.
Another thing I suggest you to do: Create folder data\db in disc C.
You could also change your mongo work path each time you use mongo shell, but it's overwork by my modest opinion.
I've done these steps and my mongo has started to work.
Getting started on mongodb was not that difficult. Well I have been facing similar error on mongodb to start.
I have getting error
Services
Windows could not start the MongoDB on Local Computer. For more information, review the System Event Log. If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refer to service-specific error code 100.
OK
very simple way to overcome.
Solution is the Mongodb service has not been started
to do so. Open CMD in admin mode and type NET START "Mongodb" > This will start the service.
Inspite of this if services is not getting started or mongo.exe is not starting. It is coz your mongodb has locked the file. Mongodb is shared file system and it gets locked. You need to for mongo.lock file in your created dir. Delete the file and start the service. You should be able to start now.
Cheers
By just creating a folder structure like below in my "C:\" drive , i resolved the issue :=>
c:\data\db
Sometime it works without creating the above mentioned folder structure, i.e. MONGODB itself creates the same (as it worked for me in Windows 8 laptop) but sometimes it needs to be explicitly done (as i need to for my windows 7 installed desktop)
Also you can browse through the complete installation and connection process for MONGODB.
Similiar to above, but I had a typo in my mongodb.cfg file which meant that Mongo couldn't find the data directory on startup. Fixed the typo and Mongo starts. Given the previous response I suspect that the failure to start is more of an issue over finding the data directory than the Hotfix message
If you had got the below error message::
2015-05-29T05:05:54.207+0530 I CONTROL Hotfix KB2731284 or later update is not
installed, will zero-out data files
2015-05-29T05:05:54.219+0530 I STORAGE [initandlisten] exception in initAndLis
en: 29 Data directory D:\data\db\ not found., terminating
2015-05-29T05:05:54.219+0530 I CONTROL [initandlisten] dbexit: rc: 100
then just create a directory "D:\data\db\""
then restart the mongod
it should work fine
you need to have mongod.exe running in one cmd window. then use another cmd window, write mongo and hit enter
You need to create the C:\Data\Db directory if you don't specify an existing directory when you run mongod.exe.
This directory is the default one.
http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-windows/
You can do fix [initandlisten] exception in initAndListen: 29 Data directory /data/db not found., terminating by following given two steps.
You can create the D:\data\db\ directory and restart the MongoDB server.
You can create the data folder as per your choice and run the server with the path of your data folder and restart the MongoDB server
i.e. D:\MongoDB\Server\3.0\bin>mongod.exe --dbpath D:\MongoDB\Server\data
I just deleted mongod.lock in my db directory, and now it works fine.
1 : Download and install the fix from here :
http://hotfixv4.microsoft.com/Windows%207/Windows%20Server2008%20R2%20SP1/sp2/Fix405791/7600/free/451413_intl_x64_zip.exe
them reboot windows
2 : this you should make a folder called "data" and within it another one called "db"
c:/data/db ;
I would start with the second step , it's most likely to solve The problem .
As for what "I CONTROL" means, the "I" is for "Information" (we have W for warning and E for error) and CONTROL is the component writing that log/message (we have also NETWORK, WRITE, QUERY and COMMAND components).
So you could get also I COMMAND ..., I QUERY ..., I WRITE ... :)
Well, that is a common problem when you shut down your machine and mongodb server is running, it is pretty clear that MongoDb has created a lock in your db folder.
Just go to c:\data\db and remove MONGOD.LOCK
Run Mongo and it will work again.

I installed the mongodb and created a new directory in C drive to store db data to that directory. After initialising a new directory, i run the below command to start the mongodb.
"C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.2\bin\mongod.exe" --dbpath c:\data\db
But i am getting the error, "api-ms-win-crt-runtime" is missing from your computer.I have attached the image below.
Please tell me, what should i need to do to fix this?
I'm completely new to MongoDB - I've installed all the programs and set it up so that I run mongod.exe and then mongo.exe. I created a new database called 'test' and inserted some data. However, I can't see any files being created in the /data/db directory. The data is definitely being stored somewhere, and when I closed down all the cmd boxes and started the processes again, the data I initially pushed onto the DB is still there.
I tried running the command 'db.adminCommand("getCmdLineOpts")' which apparently should show my DB Path, but it doesn't:
Can anyone offer some insight on this? Thanks :)
For using mongod.exe without parameters default is C:\data\db. Check start up parameters if you run server as service.
You can run this command to retrieve the dbpath if you in a Linux environment:
grep dbpath /etc/mongod.conf
db.adminCommand("getCmdLineOpts") is not running the db path as it was not specified a a command line parameter when the mongod process was started. It seems the db path is configured in the mongod.conf configuration file and the above command should return it.
I tried to connect to a local MongoDB instance, but it failed with error message Failed to connect.
I have run the commands shown in the below screenshots. The error message is shown there, too.
My folder structure is:
D:/mongodb/bin
D:/mongodb/data/db
D:/mongodb/log
I am using 32-bit Windows7.
Your data directory doesn't exist where MongoDB is expecting it to be.
For simplicity you can create D:/data/db, which is the default location and where mongod is looking at the moment, and use this as your data directory.
Alternatively if you want to use D:/mongodb/data/db as the data directory you'll need to specify the dbPath when starting mongod
mongod --dbpath D:/mongodb/data/db
This can also be done in a configuration file.
After setting up MongoDB service on Windows Server 2008 R2 this error was raised.
C:\mongodb\bin>net start MongoDB
The Mongo DB service is starting.
The Mongo DB service could not be started.
A system error has occurred.
System error 1067 has occurred.
The process terminated unexpectedly.
The error came from an unclean shutdown detected.
Please visit http://dochub.mongodb.org/core/repair for recovery instructions.
a few steps will fix it (as it's written in the link above):
1) remove the file /data/db/mongod.lock
2) run mongod.exe --repair
3) start the mongod service net start MongoDB
For anyone who faced this error on 2020, with version 4.4.1 of mongo, and the accepted answer not solve the issue, here is what I've done:
Remove all mongo services from pc (add/remove programs).
Go to program files and backup the MongoDB folder.
Remove the MongoDB folder.
Re-install mongo db.
And it should work.
UPDATE for January 2021, the following saved me without re-installing MongoDB and losing all my data:
C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.4\bin>mongod --dbpath "C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.4\data" --repair
I was facing the same issue and I closed the other command prompt which was opened with mongoDB.exe, and hence created a lock on that executable. Simply only closing that command prompt window worked fine. Thanks for the help.
Make sure you have at least 5 Gb available space on the drive of the database. For me, clearing that space enabled the ability to restart Mongodb.
If you are in the Windows. you should change the mongodb's config in the System disk.For example
1) I change C:\Windows\system32\mongodb.exe.
2) And I make the path in D:\mongodb\mongod.cfg .Before this,you should remove previous.
3) Finally , you can net the serve. net start mongodb.
I hope it can help you .English is not very good ,please forgive me.

I was having the problem of starting the the MongoDB. The logs are pretty descriptive and you can find suggestion from there.
There is a 'd' folder that needs to be created within data folder like
data\d which was missing.
This solved my problem.
Although, not an ideal solution, I ended up deleting all of the database files in \data\db and was then able to successfully run the MongoDB service. Note, this will delete all of the data in the database.
I am trying to install the Sphinx Search Server. I followed the steps given here http://itsonrail.wordpress.com/2010/05/23/installing-sphinx-on%C2%A0windows/
I added C:\Sphinx\bin to environment path and Sphinx Search is listed in the Services panel. When I try to start it, this error occurs:
Windows could not start SphinxSearch service on local computer
Error: 1067 The process terminated unexpectedly.
Please help me solving this problem. Thanks in advance.
I trid this http://sphinxsearch.com/forum/view.html?id=2684 but it didn't help.
I had the same error in my Windows 7 x64. The step below helped to solve my problem:
Create folders data and log in C:\Sphinx.
Then try to start sphinx with cmd:
C:\sphinx\bin>searchd
I have faced the same problem and eventually moved the sphnix.conf to C:\Sphinx\bin\sphnix.conf from root and the services starts. Please try this. (Please make sure there are data\, log\ directories in the root with write permission)
It is looking like your configuration is not setup properly. Have you tried to run search daemon from sphinx directory path via command prompt?
C:\sphinx\bin> searchd
C:\sphinx\bin>indexer --rotate –all
Also please ensure the log via search.log or windows event log.
If it is not running after this than try to reinstall it again
I hope it will work for you
Error 1067 doesn't say much about the problem, except that the process terminated unexpectedly. Try looking some more informations in searchd.log.
I've got same error code when I tried to update Sphinx with newer version.
In the log file, I've found
FATAL: no valid indexes to serve
My problem was that I tried running new version of Sphinx using index files created with an older version. It was solved by deleting all old index files and creating new indexes.
==>> close your cmd window and restart the sphinxsearch service...
I got this error suddenly, when Shpinx was working fine yesterday. Turns out the query log file was hitting 4Gb in size. I deleted it, and service started with no problems.
Make sure all the folders defined in the conf file actually exist. I was missing the LOG folder and that's why I was getting the error. Once I added the folder, the problem was solved.
