I have a server running MongoDB on windows server. It was running no problem and then an unexpected shutdown happened. Now, whenever I try starting up mongo it says data directory of C:\data is not found, but I want all data to be written to the E drive. The config file has it being written to the E drive, so I am not sure why it is trying to write to C drive.

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but the same problems are occurring, I have a secondary server for failovers and this one is having no problems with the same configs.

  • When you run just `mongod.exe` then it does not load any configuration file (which might be reverted by uninstalling and reinstalling anyway).
