How do I start Mongo DB from Windows?

Solution 1:

Step 1

Download the mongodb

Step 2

• Follow normal setup instructions

Step 3

• Create the following folder

C:\data\db

Step 4

• cd to C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.2\bin>
• enter command mongod
• by default, mongodb server will start at port 27017

Step 5

• (optionally) download RoboMongo and follow normal setup instructions

Step 6

• Start RoboMongo and create a new connection on localhost:27017

Your MongoDB is started and connected with RoboMongo (now Robo 3T) - a third party GUI tool

Solution 2:

This worked for me

mongod --port 27017 --dbpath C:\MongoDB\data\db

Solution 3:

1. Download from http://www.mongodb.org/downloads
2. Install .msi file in folder C:\mongodb
3. Create data, data\db, log directories and mongo.config file under C:\mongodb.

4. Add the following lines in "mongo.config" file

   port=27017
   dbpath=C:\mongodb\data\db\
   logpath=C:\mongodb\log\mongo.log
   

5. Start server :

   mongod.exe --config="C:\mongodb\mongo.config"
   

6. Connect to localhost MongoDB server via command line

   mongo --port 27017
   

7. Connect to remote MongoDB server via command line with authentication.

   mongo --username abcd --password abc123 --host server_ip_or_dns --port 27017
   

That's it !!!

Solution 4:

Create MongoDB Service in Windows. First Open cmd with administrator

mongod --port 27017 --dbpath "a mongodb storage actual path e.g: d:\mongo_storage\data" --logpath="a log path e.g: d:\mongo_storage\log\log.txt" --install --serviceName "MongoDB"

After that

Start Service

net start MongoDB

Stop Service

net stop MongoDB
