Mongo error on I control hotfix

Question

I have tried to start mongod.exe from my 2008 R2 server and im getting this error:

I CONTROL Hotfix kb2731284 or a later update is not installed, will zero-o         


        

Answer 1

I had to run the command in following format & it worked for me:

C:\mongodb\bin\mongod.exe --dbpath d:\test\mongodb\data

Ref: Original documentation link

Answer 2

As for what "I CONTROL" means, the "I" is for "Information" (we have W for warning and E for error) and CONTROL is the component writing that log/message (we have also NETWORK, WRITE, QUERY and COMMAND components).

So you could get also I COMMAND ..., I QUERY ..., I WRITE ... :)

Answer 3

If you had got the below error message::

2015-05-29T05:05:54.207+0530 I CONTROL Hotfix KB2731284 or later update is not installed, will zero-out data files 2015-05-29T05:05:54.219+0530 I STORAGE [initandlisten] exception in initAndLis en: 29 Data directory D:\data\db\ not found., terminating 2015-05-29T05:05:54.219+0530 I CONTROL [initandlisten] dbexit: rc: 100

then just create a directory "D:\data\db\""

then restart the mongod

it should work fine

Answer 4

Similiar to above, but I had a typo in my mongodb.cfg file which meant that Mongo couldn't find the data directory on startup. Fixed the typo and Mongo starts. Given the previous response I suspect that the failure to start is more of an issue over finding the data directory than the Hotfix message

Answer 5

1 : Download and install the fix from here : http://hotfixv4.microsoft.com/Windows%207/Windows%20Server2008%20R2%20SP1/sp2/Fix405791/7600/free/451413_intl_x64_zip.exe them reboot windows

2 : this you should make a folder called "data" and within it another one called "db"

c:/data/db ;

I would start with the second step , it's most likely to solve The problem .

Answer 6

You need to create the C:\Data\Db directory if you don't specify an existing directory when you run mongod.exe. This directory is the default one.
