Three ways to start the database MongoDB

Method 1. Original startup method: cmd + cd to the installation path

  • cmd command line cd to the installation path:cd C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.4\bin

  • Then cmd start MongoDB and execute the cmd command: --dbpath E:\db\MongoDB

Method 2. Slightly more advanced startup: modification to add PC global variables

  • "Desktop" = "My Computer" + Right mouse button select "Properties" = "Advanced System Properties "=" "Environment Variables" =" "Global Variables" =" Modify "Path"Information on the path of the variable [increasepreceding part of the textMethod1cd to the installation path [cd C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.4\bin]】

    Note: Because the variable path is a string, if there are multiple paths, then a semicolon should be used between paths.; Spacing out.

  • Then, open cmd and execute the command:mongod

  • Finally, cmd executes the command:mongod --dbpath E:\db\MongoDB

The specific implementation of Method2 is shown in the screenshot below:

But you still have to enter a long piece of code like mongod --dbpath E:\db\MongoDB.
It's still a pain in the ass! That's why the following method (i.e.: start the MongoDB database service using a batch file) was created.

Method 3. Very advanced startup: custom .bat batch file

  • Locally, create a new text document and change the file suffix to:.batDocumentation (batch file）；

    .bat file naming: no spaces can appear, as far as possible in English, you can use the underscore interval.

  • Notepad++ Open the .bat batch file, add the following code and save the file;

echo "MongoDB starting.........."
mongod --dbpath E:\db\MongoDB
pause

  • keyboarddouble-clickThis batch file, normally, starts the MongoDB database service quickly.

If it fails to start properly, double check and troubleshoot the following problems:

  • Is the path variable path normalized?
  • Does the .bat file name contain spaces and is it standardized?
  • .bat file internal code, is it correct?
  • Is the browser address correct?
    The default should be localhost:27017/ or http://127.0.0.1:27017/
  • Browser a little slow to respond?
    Wait a little while for the page to finish refreshing and then check the results

Troubleshooting the above issues should essentially fix the boot failure.
