Description
I am referring to the following section of the User manual...
2.1.3 Install MongoDB on Windows -> Install MongoDB -> Run MongoDB -> Step 3: Connect to MongoDB.
This section is confusing for a newbie. Which of the following cases are we talking about...?
Case 1: About connecting to MongoDB as a client, or
Case 2: About the MongoDB daemon connecting to the data files
It is a bug in both the cases due to the following reasons...
Case 1:
If this is the case we are trying to explain then the command line examples that use "mongod" should not be given as mongod is a daemon process that connects to the data files and with "mongo" process there is no "--dbpath" command line option.
Case 2:
If this is the case we are trying to explain then the first command line example is using the process "mongo" which is for connecting to the mongod server as a client.
