Configuring the Windows service for MongoDB

[1] Creating Directorys and files

Create a configuration file and a directory path for MongoDB log Output ( logpath): First, you will manually create a new Windows service:  Create the address of the log file: MD "C:\Program Files\mongodb\log"  at the command prompt, create a configuration file for LogPath:

Echo LogPath =c:\program files\mongodb\log\ Mongo.log > "C:\Program files\mongodb\ mongod.cfg "--install

2. Run the MongoDB service.Run All of the following commands in Command Prompt with "Administrative privileges:" Install the MongoDB service. For --install to succeed, you must specify the logpath run-time option.

"C:\Program files\mongodb\bin\mongod.exe"--config "C:\Program files\mongodb\mongod.cfg"--install

3. Stop or remove the MongoDB service as needed. 

To stop the MongoDB service with the following command:

net stop MongoDB

To remove the MongoDB service use the following command:

 "Official Information"manually Create a Windows Service for MongoDB

The following procedure assumes you has installed MongoDB using the MSI installer, with the default path C:\Program F ILES\MONGODB 2.6Standard.

If you have installed in a alternative directory, you'll need to adjust the paths as appropriate.

1Open an Administrator command prompt.Windows 7/vista/server (and R2)

Presses Win + R, then type cmd, then press Ctrl + Shift + Enter.

Windows 8

Press Win + X, then press A.

Execute the remaining steps from the Administrator command prompt.

2Create directories.

Create directories for your database and log files:

mkdir C:\data\dbmkdir C:\data\log

3Create a configuration file.

Create a configuration file. This file can include any of the configuration options for Mongod, butmust include a valid sett ing for logpath:

The following creates a configuration file, specifying both the LogPath and the dbpath settings in the C Onfiguration file:

echo logpath=c:\data\log\mongod.log> "C:\Program files\mongodb 2.6 standard\mongod.cfg" Echo dbpath=c:\data\db> > "C:\Program files\mongodb 2.6 standard\mongod.cfg"

4Create the MongoDB service.

Create the MongoDB service.

Sc.exe create MongoDB binpath= "\" C:\Program files\mongodb 2.6 standard\bin\mongod.exe\ "--service--config=\" c \ Program Files\mongodb 2.6 standard\mongod.cfg\ "" displayname= "MongoDB 2.6 standard" start= "Auto"

Sc.exe requires a space between "=" and the configuration values (eg "binpath="), and a "" to escape double quot Es.

If successfully created, the following log message would display:

[SC] CreateService SUCCESS

5Start the MongoDB service.

net start MongoDB

6Stop or remove the MongoDB service as needed.
