MongoDB server failing to start with the following error:

2015-12-13T00:49:12.195+0600 I STORAGE [initandlisten] exception in

initAndListen: 28663 Cannot start server. The default storage engine 'wiredTiger' is not available with this build of mongod. Please specify a different storage engine explicitly, e.g. --storageEngine=mmapv1., terminating 2015-12-13T00:49:12.195+0600 I CONTROL [initandlisten] dbexit: rc: 100

Answer 1

Well... There appears to be a version conflict: you are probably running a 32bit version of Mongo. Just do as they say and actually use the other default storage engine:

Write the command as follows in your Mongo/bin directory:

mongod --storageEngine=mmapv1 --dbpath [your-path]

Should solve the problem. I guess you don't quite mind about using the good old mmapv1 instead of wiredTiger do you?
