I download and install the last vesrion of MongoDb which is 4.0.2 and i set the correct path variable.
When i want to start the mondoDb service using mongod command i got the following error:
exception in initAndListen: NonExistentPath: Data directory C:\data\db\ not found., terminating
i know that i should create the directory missing, but that directory is automatically created in the following path: C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.0
I checked the mongod.cfg file and the correct path is already set : dbPath: C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.0\data
Now how to tell the mongo to look for the folder he thinks is missing in the correct path ?

I had the same issue but after I create the directory C:\\data\\db\\ it just worked.",

I too had the same issue after an Windows update, Mongodb did not start automatically. Creating a new directory C:data/db will not be the right way as Mongodb has already configured the directory C:\\Program Files\\MongoDB\\Server\\4.0\\data as datapath.\n\nRun the following command in cmd as Administrator.\n\ncd C:\\Program Files\\MongoDB\\Server\\4.0\\bin\nmongod --dbpath=\"C:\\Program Files\\MongoDB\\Server\\4.0\\data\".\n\n\nThis worked for me.",
