Mongo waiting on 27017 even after reinstall

Question

I have uninstalled and reinstalled mongo (3.0.1), being sure i accepted the network access on windows 8, and yet i still have the same issue of \"waiting on 27017\".

Answer 1

It is clearly mentioned in above message that mongoDB is starting.

 2015-04-01T21:33:47.134-0400 I CONTROL  [initandlisten] MongoDB starting : pid=7436 port=27017 dbpath=C:\mongodb\data 64
    -bit host=CookieMunster

If you want to connect to the mongoDB shell, open a new cmd window and write command:

mongo.exe
