MongoDb shuts down with Code 100 [closed]

Question

I followed the MongoDb Docs to setup my first MongoDb,

When I start MongoDB using the command

C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.4\bin\mongod.exe 

I get the following error

Answer 1

MongoDB needs a folder to store the database. Create a C:\data\db\ directory:

mkdir C:\data\db 

and then start MongoDB:

C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.4\bin\mongod.exe 

Sometimes C:\data\db folder already exists due to previous installation. So if for this reason mongod.exe does not work, you may delete all the contents from C:\data\db folder and execute mongod.exeagain.
