How do I stop the error "The ordinal 3252 could not be located in the dynamic link library mongod.exe"?

Question

Here are my development computer's specifications:

Windows 8.1 Single Language Processor: Intel Core i3-4005U CPU @ 1.70GHz 1.70GHz Installed memory (RAM): 4.00 GB System Type: 64-bit Operating System, x64-based processor

I installed Mongo DB Win32 x86_64-2008 with SSL 3.0.7 pre

However, when I run "mongod.exe --dbpath db" from DOS command, I get the following error:

"The ordinal 3252 could not be located in the dynamic link library mongod.exe"

Why is the error showing up, and how do I stop the error?

Answer 1

This problem exists if you have downloaded the zipped version. Try to place libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll in the bin directory.

Answer 2

This error could occur if you've downloaded too old versions of openssl libs. Here's link to binaries: https://indy.fulgan.com/SSL/.

At this time, the latest version is 1.0.2e. Be sure to get the right dll for your architecture (32 or 64 bits).
