MongoDB Workbook

Note: this workbook is currently Work in Progress!

MongoDB is a NoSQL database available on mi-linux, using a command line prompt. If you are taking a module using this database you will have an account automatically created for you. If you are a Project student who wishes to use the database, please contact M.Garvey@wlv.ac.uk to get an account setup.

Using MongoDB

To access the database, first login to mi-linux.wlv.ac.uk (csl-student.wlv.ac.uk) using your University username and password.

mi-linux can be accessed using a Secure Shell client, such as Putty, that is available using the Apps Anywhere system.

Starting MongoDB

Once logged in, to start MongoDB run either the following command:

runMongo

or once you have changed your password (see below):

runMongo yourPassword

Changing Password

Once you have logged into MongoDB successfully you can change the default password:

db.updateUser("myStudentNumber",
{
    pwd: "myNewPassword",
 }
);

Replacing myStudentNumber with your University student number and myNewPasswor with your new password.
