I am running Windows 8.1 64 bit, MongoDb 2.6.0, I am running as administrator
This is the command I am running:
c:\mongo\bin\mongod.exe --logpath "C:\mongo\logs\server.log" --dbpath "C:\mongo\data\db" --install
This is the error I receive, note that this error appears in the log file!
--install has to be used with --logpath
I've read these, and tried the suggestions from these other questions to no avail
install mongodb on window 8
How to set MongoDB as a windows service
It's a bug. It has been fixed 2 hours ago but will be part of 2.6.1. See Jira Issue here
As a workaround you can install 2.4.9 as Windows Service and then replace the files with 2.6 with a simple copy & paste
Using "sc create" as described Ray's article did the trick for me.
So instead of;
"C:\mongodb\bin\mongod.exe" --config "C:\mongodb\mongod.cfg" --install
Use this;
sc create MongoDB binPath= "C:\mongodb\bin\mongod.exe --config=C:\mongodb\mongod.cfg --service" displayname= "MongoDB 3.0 Standard Server" start= auto
Start the service with
net start MongoDB
I you want to change the startup behaviour later on you can use the GUI.
Open a run box; Win + R
Type services.msc and press return
Double click the MongoDB service to show the properties screen
Finally, the Jira issue has been updated with a proper set of manual service installation instructions. It's not necessary to go through the 2.4.9 installation Kabuki. I had no problem installing a 2.6.0 service on a new Windows 2012 server.
I wrote a blog about it that outlines some key points:

I'm following this (https://codingthesmartway.com/the-mern-stack-tutorial-building-a-react-crud-application-from-start-to-finish-part-2/) tutorial, and when I reach the part when I type "mongod" into the terminal, I end up with this holy hot mess in my command line. What's gone wrong?
If you do not specify a location for the data files, MongoDB will store its data by default in the \data\db folder of the current drive C:. If the folder does not exist, it will fail with this error. Either create the C:\data\db folder or specify a different location for the data files with the --dbpath option.
The TLS 1.0 disabled warning is not causing any issues. It is just notifying you that TLS 1.0 is disabled by default (TLS 1.0 is considered insecure for encrypted connections), so by default MongoDB only supports TLS 1.1 and newer. This is important only if you're enabling SSL connections to your database.
After installing MongoDB, setup the environment variable of mongodb.
or make a data/db in your C: drive.
if all these are not woking then install mongodb compass and follow the below steps:
1# In start menu type services and open it
2# look for mongodb and start it manually
3# now to check mongod server is running or not go to c:/prografiles/mongodb/4.4/bin/ (where you install your mongodb compass) and open terminal and type mongo > show dbs command show all the databases.

I had the same issue with my Ubuntu machine. I found the solution by restarting the MongoDB; use the following commands to restart:-
sudo systemctl stop mongod
sudo systemctl restart mongod
You can also check it in How to install MongoDB on Ubuntu
c:\data\db\ is not found so create it .the same error occurred in my terminal and it was saying that E:\data\db\ is not found and then I created it in my E drive and the problem got solved.
same huge mess for me,
this command will help.
./mongod.exe --config ./mongod.cfg --auth
try to run mongodb with parameter --dbpath /usr/local/mongodb-data if you using mac m1
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

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,
Vijay
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 have just installed MongoDB 2.6 and I am trying to run it as a Windows Service on Windows 8, by following the instructions at http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-windows/.
Here's my directory structure within the C drive:
MongoDB (MongoDB installation)
bin
Project
DB
Log
mongo.conf
mongod.cfg
The contents of mongo.conf is:
storage:
dbPath: "C:\Project\DB"
And the contents of mongod.cfg is:
logpath="C:\Project\Log\mongo.log"
As directed to in the tutorial, from the command line (in administrator mode) I then type:
"C:\MongoDB\bin\mongod.exe" --config "C:\Project\mongod.cfg" --install
However, I get an error message:
SEVERE: Failed global initialization: FileNotOpen Failed to open ""C:\MongoDB\bin\Project\Log\mongo.log""
Please can somebody explain what I'm doing wrong? I've followed the instructions as dictated in the tutorial (except changed some of the directory names).
I'm also very confused as to the difference between mongo.conf and mongod.cfg...
Thanks!
I was having a similar problem with Mongo 2.6.3. I was trying to set the log path to C:\Users\Public\Public Databases\Mongo\log\mongo.log and the service installer kept responding with Failed to open ""C:\Program Files\MongoDB 2.6 Standard\bin\Users\Public\Public
Databases\Mongo\log\mongo.log"".
It started working for me when I stopped quoting the log path in the config file. (i.e. I changed logpath="C:\Users\Public\Public Databases\Mongo\log\mongo.log" to logpath=C:\Users\Public\Public Databases\Mongo\log\mongo.log).
There is a known issue installing MongoDB 2.6.0 as a Windows service using the --install command - see SERVER-13515. A fix has been committed for the MongoDB 2.6.1 release.
As a workaround,
I've provided instructions on how to install the service manually on that SERVER issue.
The short version is:
open an Administrator cmd prompt
make directories for your database and log files
create a configuration file
create the service definition, similar to:
sc create MongoDB binPath= "\"C:\Program Files\MongoDB 2.6 Standard\bin\mongod.exe\" --service --config=\"C:\Program Files\MongoDB 2.6 Standard\mongod.cfg\"" DisplayName= "MongoDB 2.6 Standard" start= "auto"
start the MongoDB service
net start MongoDB
For full instructions please refer to SERVER-13515.
I'm also very confused as to the difference between mongo.conf and mongod.cfg
The MongoDB server doesn't care about the name/extension of the file you specify with --config (as long as the file can be read). Your confusion on the format is because the mongo.conf example uses the new YAML config file format supported by MongoDB 2.6+, while mongod.cfg uses the older format supported by 2.6 as well as earlier versions.
I used the older mongod.cfg format in my workaround example, as technically someone could adapt these instructions to manually create a service definition for MongoDB 2.4 as well.
I got the same problem not only when installing as a Windows service but also when running "mongodb.exe" file. I tried to remove double quote (") characters but the error was still there:
2014-08-16T14:14:49.166Z SEVERE: Failed global initialization: FileNotOpen Failed to open "D:\MongoDB\log\mongo.log"
Please note that I was using config file in new YAML format. I had no problem when using the old format. I tried several ways on the new YAML configuration file and finally I found that it doesn't accept the absolute path. Just change to relative path and it works like a charm!
My folder structure is:
MongoDB\
bin\
data\
log\
Here is my YAML configuration file that works on the build MongoDB 2.6.4 - Windows 64 bit version, installed on my Windows 7 - Professional x64:
systemLog:
timeStampFormat: iso8601-utc
destination: file
path: ..\log\mongo.log
quiet: false
logAppend: true
net:
bindIp: 127.0.0.1
port: 27017
storage:
dbPath: ..\data
directoryPerDB: true
journal:
enabled: true
I tried a lot of things, in the end I had to remove config file and pass dbpath and logpath settings directly. Following command worked for me:-
C:>mongod --dbpath d:\mongodb\data --logpath d:\mongodb\logs\mongo.log --instal
l --serviceName MongoDB --serviceDisplayName MongoDB
There is a JIRA on that topic for the last version of MongoDB and a workaround too. A solution is to install a previous version then install the service ans re-use the last version of the driver.
Hope this helps !
#Stennie 's answer, as well as the manual service installation instructions on the mongoDB site were adequate for me. One thing to note though, is that the quoted items in the instructions need double backslashes (\\) in order to work correctly. Probably obvious to most developers, but I had it slip my mind, and the error response was simply that the service fails to start up. Also, be wary of the spaces after the equals signs.
sc.exe create MongoDB binPath= "\"C:\\Program Files\\MongoDB 2.6 Standard\\bin\\mongod.exe\" --service --config=\"C:\\Program Files\\MongoDB 2.6 Standard\\mongod.cfg\"" DisplayName= "MongoDB 2.6 Standard" start= "auto"
Observing your error log, it's passing two "s instead of one. Omit one(edit your config file content and remove "s) and you should be good.
Sometimes when you have error like : "Failed global initialization: FileNotOpen Failed to open .../mongodb.log", if you have log file you can delete it and try again.
Stop MongoDB from Windows Services and then try again. It worked for me!
My previous logpath=c:\programfiles\......
the alternative is logpath="c:\program files\......"
it works
I think the reason is that the system must visit the log file through c:\program files\......, but there comes error when I write logpath=c:\program files\......because there is a space between program and files. Then I add "", and it works. I hope it helps.

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.

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
