MongoDB Getting Started

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.

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

runMongo

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

runMongo yourPassword

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.

Note, the function names in MongoDB are case sensitive.
