i cant run mongo.exe from cmd - database

every time I run mongod.exe from cmd I get the following message on my screen
I'm a beginner in this so I really don't know what it means
I haven't seen anything on the web describing this

You have three questions.
Cannot run mongo.exe - See mongo.exe not installed in Version 6.0.0
Excessive output when you run mongod.exe
Install MongoDB as service. Create a configuration file (a default file should be created at C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\6.0\bin\mongod.cfg while installation) and create the service with
mongod.exe --install "C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\6.0\bin\mongod.cfg"
Then your MongoDB starts automatically at boot time.
I haven't seen anything describing the log format - See Log Messages

Can't use mongo shell on Windows and interact with MongoDB from command line [duplicate]

I installed MongoDB community Server from this link. But when I look into C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\6.0\bin
, I am not able to locate mongo.exe file. I am able to see mongod.exe and mongos.exe.
Can someone help. Thank you.
legacy mongo shell (mongo) no longer ships with server binaries (for servers >= 6.0). You can download a new shell version (mongosh) from here
Answer from dododo worked for me.
Download Mongo Shell - mongosh from MongoDB Download Center
Extract the contents of the bin from the downloaded zip file to the bin file of your MongoDB folder and run mongosh instead of mongo.
To run the Mongo Shell , Download msi package from the MongoDB Community Download - https://www.mongodb.com/try/download/community
The version 6.0 do not ships with server binaries so mongo.exe file wouldn't be shown. So instead download mongo shell - https://www.mongodb.com/try/download/shell
After downloading unzip the bin directory in your Original bin directory
(You would also need to create a new directory in C: drive named data/db)
Now open the bin directory from Mongodb folder, and run mongod.exe
After that keeping Mongod.exe running in background open mongosh.exe ,
Your mongo Shell will be started.
After version 6.0.0 mongo.exe does not get installed to your bin folder so you have to manually install the new MongoDB shell which is called mongosh then you have to add its path to your system variables and then run mongosh --version to see if it got installed. Afterwards if you want to create your own databases and preform operations run "mongosh" in your terminal to connect to a MongoDB instance running on your localhost with default port 27017.
Read the mongoDB documentation for more information:
install mongosh:
https://www.mongodb.com/docs/mongodb-shell/install/
The mongosh shell vs the old mongo shell:
https://www.mongodb.com/docs/mongodb-shell/
Connect to a Deployment:
https://www.mongodb.com/docs/mongodb-shell/connect/
It should be noted, that in MongoDB version 6.0 there are two items:
The legacy mongo shell is removed from MongoDB 6.0
The MongoDB Shell (mongosh) is not installed with MongoDB Server. You need to follow the mongosh installation instructions to download and install mongosh separately. This was already announced in MongoDB version 5.0
The legacy mongo shell does not exist anymore on MongoDB version 6.0. If you desire the old mongo.exe, then you can install if from an earlier MongoDB version.
You also need to add a path variable of the bin folder where mongosh application is present (after downloading from the below link:
https://www.mongodb.com/try/download/shell ).
Then you can use mongosh command from anywhere using CMD:
STEPS TO FOLLOW AFTER DOWNLOADING SHELL FROM https://www.mongodb.com/try/download/shell
Include both your mongosh shell and mongod in environment variables.
go to your c drive and create db folder inside data folder
then run your mongosh and mongod in two different cmd windows
separately
..first run mongod
..then run mongosh
if you have check-marked run as a service at the time of download
then next time you are not required to start mongosh , it will
automatically get started.

'mongo' is still not working on PowerShell after doing all recommended things

I installed MongoDB and tried to run it on terminal. It just shows up 'mongo' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
I have set the path to bin folder inside Environment variables too. One thing I noticed is I might have a missing file inside bin folder and that is mongo. Because I have mongod and mongos file inside the bin folder. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the program and it was still not working.
I have no idea it's what that I'm missing. Please help out
Finally I have found the solution,
Mongo shell no longer ships with server binaries. We can download it from MongoDB Shell Download
Then we should extract the contents of the bin from the downloaded zip file to the bin file of the MongoDB folder and run mongosh instead of mongo on the terminal

mongodb server not running as a background process

I recently downloaded mongodb and robo 3T. now im new to using mongodb on my system as i normally only use it online. well ever since i installed mongodb, it is meant to run as a background process forever but it never does. for it to even show on my task manager i have to start the service by myself and whenever i restart my laptop its stopped again. my point is, because of this problem, robo 3T hasnt been able to connect to mongodb even though i start the service by myself. did i do anything wrong when installing mongodb and how do i fix this problem?
I don't like the .msi installer to create the MongoD service. Usually I prefer the manual way of doing it. It gives more control and you know what actually happens.
Install MongoDB with MSI installer, disable option "Install MongoD as a Service"
Create mongod.cfg file according to your preferences.
You may use <Installation Path>\Server\5.0\bin\mongod.cfg as template. Pay attention to Windows Service Options.
Install the service by running mongod.exe --config "<full path of mongod.cfg file>" --install
Note, you need to run mongod.exe --install with Administrator privileges. See https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/program/mongod.exe/
Check your Service Manager services.msc for any already existing Mongo services. You can remove them with mongod.exe --config "<mongod.cfg file>" --remove or sc.exe delete <service name>

TFS Post Build script executing twice

I have a post build batch file being executed after a TFS build. It compiles an Inno Setup script and places the generated exe in a drop folder. It then tries to run that exe and install the application on the server. It runs the exe; however, this hangs the build.
The issue is, it seems to execute it twice. I can see 2 process running for the installer in task manager. If I execute the batch file manually, there are no issues - it's only when TFS executes it, I run into this problem.
Post Build Batch File
cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Inno Setup 5"
iscc "%scriptDir%\Script.iss"
cd "C:\Deployment"
start Installer.exe /VERYSILENT
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Scratching my head with this.
From my findings, the post build script was NOT executing twice.
I believe the issue had something to do with permissions. The build service was being executed via the LocalService account which did not have permission to install the application. I THINK the build service tried to execute the installer but was denied and silently failed (and possibly tried again causing the additional installer process).
Solution: Set the Build Service to run under a different account with the permissions to install applications.
