my mongod stopped working and started outputting :The default storage engine 'wiredTiger' is not available with this build of mongod. Please specify a different storage engine explicitly, e.g. --storageEngine=mmapv1., terminating

[David Timerman]

i'm running mongod in the cmd (windows 10) 

it was working fine until today it started outputting this and failing : 

"The default storage engine 'wiredTiger' is not available with this build of mongod. Please specify a different storage engine explicitly, e.g. --storageEngine=mmapv1., terminating"

I've tried to specify a different storage engine as suggested , but that one won't start either , 

please help me figure out what am i doing / thinking wrong

thanks in advance.

Hi David,

Can you provide the following:

• MongoDB version you are running.
• MongoDB deployment topology (i.e. standalone, replica set, sharded cluster).
• Arguments or config file that you use to start mongod.

Regards,

Wan.

From the manual:

In addition, the 32-bit versions of MongoDB have the following limitations:

• 32-bit versions of MongoDB do not support the WiredTiger storage engine.
• 32-bit builds disable journaling by default because journaling further limits the maximum amount of data that the database can store.
• When running a 32-bit build of MongoDB, the total storage size for the server, including data and indexes, is 2 gigabytes. For this reason, do not deploy MongoDB to production on 32-bit machines.

If you’re running a 64-bit build of MongoDB, there’s virtually no limit to storage size. For production deployments, 64-bit builds and operating systems are strongly recommended.
