I am new to mongodb
I have created two db paths with 

mongod --dbpath abc 
mongod --dbpath xyz

when I checked the /usr/local/etc/mongod.conf file it still shows storage: 

dbPath: 
  /usr/local/var/mongodb

how I can tell mongo command to load db from abc or xyz directory? should I change mongod.conf file manually or is there any arguments that I can pass while mongo db server.

Mongodb version and details

$ mongod --version
db version v3.4.5

  • Specifically [this answer there](https://stackoverflow.com/a/35193212/2313887) which I know it says PC, but the concepts are all the same. Separate config files and different ports are required for more than one instance on the same machine. `--dbpath` does not "create". It tells the `mongod` process where to look for it's database files for that particular process instance. – Neil Lunn Jul 06 '17 at 05:35
