mongod command giving error exit code 100

Question

I don't remember the process I followed while installing mongodb and probably messed things up. Now everything works fine if the mongoDB server as a service is running but when it is not running and I execute mongod command it gives me error. I have added it to path variable so that is not the problem.

You should define the folder for DB data and logging after creating them:

mkdir "C:\Users\HP\data"
mkdir "C:\Users\HP\log"
mongod --dbpath "C:\Users\HP\data" --logpath "C:\Users\HP\log\mongod.log"
