Lab: change the default dbpath - test failure

MongoDB University M103: Basic Cluster Administration
#1

I am using the correct dbpath to start the mongod process with the mentioned configuration file, as you can see from the image below.

Starting mongod process

But running the test results in failure, stating to use the path /var/mongodb/db, which I used as you can see from the image above

Testing mongod process

Did I have to access the server using mongo shell?

#2

Have you completed all the steps of the lab?
Like the user creation etc

Thank you

Hi @Mahalingam_Sundararaj,

Iā€™m glad your issue got resolved. Let us know if you have any other questions.

#6

Start a new thread with your issues. Explained what you tried. Post a screenshot of the issues you got.

#8

If you have same error, we have the same answer.

#10

The post screenshots of

  1. Running the command ls -ld /var/mongodb/db
  2. Of the configuration file
  3. Of the terminal where you started momgod
  4. Of the terminal where you paste the 4 command
#12

The directory does not exists, them it means you did not do the mkdir correctly.

Post screenshot of redoing the mkdir command.

#13

its ceated bro,now in same terminal i run mongod and then that 4 command right ?

#14

Still missing screenshot

#15
  1. Make sure to use mkdir -p flag to create directory tree
  2. Run mongod process with config file
  3. Make sure to do the final step of creating user and then do the tests

I forgot to do the final step

#17

You need to start mongod with the configuration file in the IDE terminal.

#19

Please ignore this and consider next post from @Mahalingam_Sundararaj

***NonExistingPath: Data directory*** means you did not created the directory correctly.

So supply

#20

Youā€™re not using --config flag to start mongod process

mongod --config mongod.conf

No. Review lecture Chapter 1: The Mongod - Configuration File.

  1. Make directory using ā€œmkdir -p var/mongodb/dbā€
  2. Run mongod process using the conf file provided. Use the command ā€œmongod --config mongod.confā€ to start the mongod process
  3. Then create user

I think it will solve the issue, if not go through this again https://university.mongodb.com/mercury/M103/2021_February_2/chapter/Chapter_1_The_Mongod/lesson/5a9719abc9d4ec11e704edc6/lecture

This is the problem, try mkdir -p /var/mongodb/db and then start the mongod process
