How to stop mongodb server on Windows?

Question

I want to set up my development environment on Windows by producing two batch files with the help of nginx/PHP/MongoDB stack. The following is my start.bat and stop.bat:

start.bat:

cd C:\www\nginx

start nginx

cd C:\www\php

start php-cgi.exe -b 127.0.0.1:9000

cd C:\www\mongodb

start mongod

stop.bat:

cd C:\www\nginx

nginx -s quit

cd C:\www\php

taskkill /F /IM php-cgi.exe

cd C:\www\mongodb

mongo --eval "use admin; db.shutdownServer(); quit"  # this doesn't work

mongo --eval stop_mongod.js  # this doesn't work either

but I am not able to shutdown the MongoDB server...

Answer 1

The code 'use dbname' will not operate in scripted mode. What you can do is to explicitly specify the database in the connection.

And also, you can generate a connection within a script, refer the  following code:

db2 = connect("server:27017/otherdbname")

You have to save the following code in stop_mongod.js file:

 db = connect("localhost:27017/admin");

 db.shutdownServer();

 quit();

If needed you can adjust the connection string. Then from the batch script, run the following command:

mongo stop_mongod.js
