Mongo data base

Question

Can't find my data base path in mongoDB.

I really need to know where my data is stored on my Mac OSX 10.7

And when I change my DBpath it keeps telling me that DBpath is not defined. (I am using homebrew)

Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

You should be able to find the dbpath used by running the following command in the mongo JS shell:

db.serverCmdLineOpts()

Look for a parsed setting for "dbpath".

Answer 2

By default mongo configurations are stored on the following path.

/etc/mongod.conf

You can find the dbpath in the following file. By default it is :

/data/db or c:\data\db

You can change the dbpath using the following command

mongod --dbpath /data/newpath
