Answer 1

MongoDB requires a data directory to store all data. MongoDB’s default data directory path is datadb.

Create this folder

md datadb

You can specify an alternate path for data files using the --dbpath option to mongod.exe, for example:

C:mongodbinmongod.exe --dbpath d:estmongodbdata

If your path includes spaces, enclose the entire path in double quotes,

for example:

C:mongodbinmongod.exe --dbpath "d:estmongo db data"
