Question

MongoDB server failing to start with the following error:

Answer 1

I also come across this issues when i installed mongodb 32 bit msi for windows server.

Reason could be:

I think for mongodb 32 bit the database engine wont take automatically we need to explicitly give them while configuring the db path

The fix is below:

Run command prompt as administrator

d:\mongodb>mongod --dbpath "data" --storageEngine "mmapv1"

After adding the above bold code the issue resolved.

Thanks Dev
