Can't find my data base path in mongoDB.
I really need to know where my data is stored on my Mac OSX 10.7
And when I change my DBpath it keeps telling me that DBpath is not defined. (I am using homebrew)
Thank you in advance.
By default mongo configurations are stored on the following path.
/etc/mongod.conf
You can find the dbpath in the following file. By default it is :
/data/db or c:\data\db
You can change the dbpath using the following command
mongod --dbpath /data/newpath
You should be able to find the dbpath used by running the following command in the mongo JS shell:
db.serverCmdLineOpts()
Look for a parsed setting for "dbpath".

I have installed mongodb 4.2 on my Windows 10 PC. I want to change the dbPath from default C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.2\data to C:\Users\xx\Dropbox\mongodb_data.
I modifed mongod.cfg such that
dbPath: C:\Users\xx\Dropbox\mongodb_data
When I restart Mongodb network service, I encountered the following error;
How can I fix this error?
Try running MongoDB with additional parameter mongod --dbpath <your new path> it will be reading and writing to this new directory. So, if you want to still have the current documents in Mongo, you can move them to the new directory also.
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.

I'm using ubuntu 16.04! Is it possible to change the data directory for a specific database in mongo? I'm trying to setup this recommendation engine and I was asked to create a new MongoDB database and set its path to folder.
Pre-version 3.0.0, all the databases that one mongod hosts have to be in the same dbpath folder which can be set via command arguments using the --dbpath flag or the config file.
You could however run multiple mongods and host them individually? either on different ip/ports.
Version 3.0.0 you can use the --directoryperdb flag within the command arguments or config to set multiple directories per database (See https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/program/mongod/#cmdoption--directoryperdb)
Uses a separate directory to store data for each database. The directories are under the --dbpath directory, and each subdirectory name corresponds to the database name.
When you start mongod.exe you can set the database path with the
mongod.exe --dbpath "path to your folder"
setting.
yes it's possible, run mongod process with --dbpath option
I started learning mongoDB a couple of days ago. Post installation, I am trying to change the dbpath as follows:
mongod --dbpath C:\myfolder\myproj\data\db
running the above command, I got the below statements in the command line:
Now i typed the below command to check if the dbpath has changed
mongod dbpath
this line still returns:
C:\data\db
I also tried running the below command to change the dbpath (as mentioned in a youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWbMrx5rVBE, but still the dbpath didn't change
mongod --directoryperdb --dbpath c:\myfolder\myproj\data\db
Can someone tell me how can I change my dbpath?
I looked at the stackoverflow question MongoDB not using /etc/mongodb.conf after I changed dbpath and also Unable to change the dbpath in mongodb through mongodb.conf but none of them helped
When you run
mongod --dbpath C:\myfolder\myproj\data\db
You are starting an instance of mongod with it's data directory as C:\myfolder\myproj\data\db
Running a second
mongod dbpath
is effectively starting a new instance of mongod - which, by default, has its dbpath as \data\db
Just run mongod --dbpath C:\myfolder\myproj\data\db as you are, then use mongo to connect to it (or whatever client you're using)
When connecting to that instance, you'll be using the instance that is storing it's data in C:\myfolder\myproj\data\db
I just got copied database folder(literally copy and paste) of mongodb.
Actually, I'm beginner of mongodb and have a lot of problem to access copied database.
Could you give me any advice?
To start the database with the new directory - you can do the following:
Change dbpath in config: link, then restart mongod service
Run single mongod instance like "mongod --dbpath /data/db".
If you use WireTiger engine - "mongod --dbpath /data/db --storageEngine wiredTiger"
