I am just trying to learn MongoDB. I followed this walktrough to install it:

http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-windows/

Here is my screenshot for mongod.exe:

mongod.exe

And here isthe screenshot of mongo.exe:

mongo.exe

It seems everything is fine to me. Am I wrong?

During my googlings I decided that MongoVue is a good management application for MongoDB by a cool user interface. So I downloaded and installed it. Here is the screen I see when I opened it:

mongovue

How do I have to fill these fields to create a connection from MongoVue to MongoDB? Do I have to do something else before that?

  • Maybe you should slow down a bit and read something. How did you plan to use it if you can't even figure out what server you installed it on? How were you planning to use it in your code? – John Saunders Jun 12 '15 at 00:27

Assuming you haven't configured authentication within MongoDB, just give the connection a name and fill in the IP address of the server (127.0.0.1 if it's local):

Connection Dialog

Click Test to test out the settings and then Save to create the connection. Then click Connect on the parent dialog to actually connect to the server.

Caution

MongoVUE doesn't work with 3.x MongoDB servers and hasn't been updated in almost two years. See here for alternatives.

  • I did all this and it connects fine and shows me there's one collection and the number of elements inside of it but I can't view the collection. Almost all menu elements are grayed out. Any ideas why I can't even get started? – AdamMc331 Dec 14 '15 at 19:33

    MongoVue doesn't support 3.x MongoDB servers and its development appears dead as they haven't released a new version in almost two years. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28637624/mongodb-version-3-0-0-client-robomongo-mongovue – JohnnyHK Dec 14 '15 at 19:44
  • That clears it up then. Thank you! Do you happen to have a recommendation for a Mongo GUI that does support 3.2? I just clicked the link, will check out MongoChef. If you have other recommendations I'd appreciate it. – AdamMc331 Dec 14 '15 at 19:45
  • @McAdam331 There are a couple mentioned in the answers to the question I linked to. Give them a try. – JohnnyHK Dec 14 '15 at 19:50
