upgrade mongodb

I'm looking for the easiest and the most recommended way to upgrade mongodb version (standalone server and mongodb shell).

Are there any terminal (for mac) commands that i can follow in order to upgrade?

I tried to stop the server by $ mongo

use admin db.shutdownServer()
i get : Sat Mar 17 20:38:15 DBClientCursor::init call() failed Sat Mar 17 20:38:15 query failed : admin.$cmd { shutdown: 1.0 } to: 127.0.0.1:27017 server should be down... Sat Mar 17 20:38:15 trying reconnect to 127.0.0.1:27017 Sat Mar 17 20:38:15 reconnect 127.0.0.1:27017 failed couldn't connect to server 127.0.0.1:27017

I understand that after stopping the server i need to change the bin folder of mongodb. (which i'm failing to do because mongo is in use)

If someone knows an easier way to only upgrade the mongodb version i would really thank him/her! thank you.

Solution

  • shutdown mongodb with:

    /usr/bin/mongodb --config $PATH-TO-CONFIG --shutdown

    (replace /usr/bin with the right directory) copy new mongodb and restart mongodb afterwards.
