mongodb shell version it shows 2.2.1 but db version it is still showing old one 2.2.0 upon upgrading

[arun....@gmail.com]

I am trying to upgrade my current mongodb version 2.2.0 to 3.2.0 so i started first upgrading to 2. then 2.4 then 2.6 and so on..

I restore the 2.20 in my home directory also for testing.

upon upgrading from 2.2.0 to 2.2.1 , on running, the shell version it shows 2.2.1 but db version it is still showing old one 2.2.0

I just copies the binaries of 2.2.1 to 2.2.0..

do i need to upgrade the database also..?

It is running on singe server with auth enabled..

Hi Arun,

How is MongoDB being started? Are you manually running the `mongod` process? It sounds like the 2.2.0 version is in your path and you might not be actually running the 2.2.1 version like you think you are.

Cheers!

Actually I want to upgrade from 2.2.0 to 3.2 so want to test in my home dir first

Actually there is a mongodb process already running through mongodb id in mongodb home dir.

I copied  the data files dump from mongodb directory of 2..20  through restore in my home directory and I copied the 2.2.1 binaries in my 2.2.0 binaries.

and when I ran from bin folder it is showing 2.2.1 but when running db.version showing 2..2.0.. do we need to do something for data which we copied from 2.2.0?

Hi Arun,

A few things to check:

• Did you restart mongod after upgrading the binaries to a newer version?

• Does ./mongod --version report the expected version?

• Are you connecting to mongod on the correct port? Your command line mongod is listening to port 27018 but the mongo session is connecting to the default port (27017).

Regards,
Stephen
