Im using MongoDB Community Server 4.0.

I installed properly as said in the MongoDB Documentation.

I have also set the path Environment variable for MongoDB bin.

The windows service for MongoDB is also running properly.

When I run MongoD with the following command

"C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.0\bin\mongod.exe" --auth --dbpath="c:\data\db" --bind_ip 127.0.0.1 --port 27017

the server starts perfectly displaying the log message as shown in the image

Now when I start the mongo shell with the command

"C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.0\bin\mongo.exe"

I have also tried

mongo

mongo --port 27017

mongo --port 27017 --host localhost

mongo --port 27017 --host<machine name>

but it is just showing as

connecting ... but not starting the shell as shown in the image

Help me to solve this problem, please.

Are you able to see anything on your server command prompt after running mongo command? although all these parameters are optional you no need to provide even you no need to give the complete path for mongod or mongo as you already set as the environment variable. – Shivang Agarwal Aug 18 '18 at 09:31
No change in server.. – HARISH KARTHIK Aug 18 '18 at 12:56
its stays still saying ` waiting for connections on port 27017`... – HARISH KARTHIK Aug 18 '18 at 12:57
What does your mongod server's log say? Do you see your connection attempt in there? – JJussi Aug 19 '18 at 05:42
Nope . just "waiting for connection" – HARISH KARTHIK Aug 20 '18 at 14:07
