My MongoDB server was running fine until yesterday. But then I encountered this error:

I do not know how the data path got changed. I have to change the MongoDB data path from C:\data\db\ to C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.2\data, so I tried changing it using the following command, but it doesn't recognize the path:

mongod --dbpath C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.2\data

What should be the format of the path to be entered here?

  • I would prefer to use/change the [Configuration File](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/configuration-options/index.html). It is set with the [--config](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/program/mongod/#cmdoption-mongod-config) option. When the path contains space characters you should enclose it by quotes. – Wernfried Domscheit Mar 31 '20 at 06:26
  • I already tried that, dbpath is set to the desired path in the config file [C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.2\data] , but whenever I start the mongodb server, is shows the data path as C:\data\db\ – devendramehta133 Mar 31 '20 at 06:57
  • How do you start the mongoDB? If the config files has spaces then you must also enclose it in quotes. `c:\data\db` is the default for `dbPath`, apparently the config file is not read. – Wernfried Domscheit Mar 31 '20 at 07:02

Use CMD as a system administrator and type mongod --dbpath C:\myfolder\myproj\data\db"
