connecting with mongos

[Sara Ali]

How to connect the shell to mongos? I am getting the output

>use admin
switched to db admin
>db.runCommand( { enableSharding : "foo" } )
{
"errmsg" : "no such cmd:enableSharding",
"bad cmd" : {
"enablesharding" : "foo"
},
"ok" : 0
}

Hi Sara

Here's an overview of how to configure your mongos.
http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/A+Sample+Configuration+Session

It looks to me like you didn't add a shard before you enabled sharding
on your Mongos, so your DB can't recognize it yet.

Add this

switched to db admin
> db.runCommand( { addshard : "localhost:10000" } )
{ "shardadded" : "shard0000", "ok" : 1 }
> db.runCommand( { addshard : "localhost:10001" } )
{ "shardadded" : "shard0001", "ok" : 1 }

should work.

In the meantime, it might be helpful to read up on how to configure
your db for sharding. this overview is more detailed than the first,
but it will be helpful going forward.

thanks!

when I write  db.runCommand( { addshard : "localhost:10000" } )  on mongo.exe shell , it gives error "no such cmd : addshard".

The link you gave has the command

$ mkdir /data/db/a /data/db/b

please tell me where to write this command??

That can go straight in the terminal before you begin you mongod process. This command starts up your shards essentially creating a directory for your shards to go.
