show collections not showing all collections while db.stats() showing

[Mukesh Kumar]

We have mongodb v2.4.5 running. When I do show collections, it shows 2 collections only but in db.stats(); count is showing more than 100. Even I have checked data directory also, file of not showing collections(when I do show collections, that collection doesn't exist there).

Is it a bug of this version or what, couldn't find anything related to this issue.

Please let me know if needed more info on this.

Thanks in advance.

Did you check Jira?  Is your mongod server and mongo shell the same version?  Both 2.4.5 (that's quite old).  You can check the two versions in the shell via:

> db.version()  // for server

> version()   // for shell

There've been some issues (i.e. https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/SERVER-16728) but mostly having to do with mismatch of shell versions and server versions which exposes some incompatibilities.

Yes, I checked, no Jira ticket matched as per our current issue, both mongod & mongo shell version is same. Let me know if more info needed.

> db.version()
