How to start mongo db on windows

Question

 C:\\mongodb\\bin\\mongod.         


        

Answer 1

MongoDB requires a data directory to store all data. MongoDB’s default data directory path is \data\db.

Create this folder

md \data\db

You can specify an alternate path for data files using the --dbpath option to mongod.exe, for example:

C:\mongodb\bin\mongod.exe --dbpath d:\test\mongodb\data

If your path includes spaces, enclose the entire path in double quotes,

for example:

C:\mongodb\bin\mongod.exe --dbpath "d:\test\mongo db data"
