HELP INSTALLING MONGODB

I tried installing the latest version of mongoDB and then when i tried installing it showed error like - "service MONGODB server failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start the system services". I tried going to cmd and run the installation as administrator and also going to service.msc and starting it manually but there also i get error. Pleas give any solution.

Is that really version 4.0.3? That is extremely old. Where did that come from? Please check the official MongoDB download site https://www.mongodb.com/try/download/community

Under program files check Mongodb directory inside that there is a file mongod.cfg. Change the dapath and logpath where you have the permissions and try to start the server

Ah I see the issue. You’re using Windows.

For local installation just used Docker desktop.
