RUN mongo DB as windows service

Create the configuration file:

dbpath=D:\mongoDB\data\mongo1

logpath=D:\mongoDB\DBAREPORT\mongo1-server.log

logappend=true

verbose=vvvvv

directoryperdb=true

journal=true

bind_ip=127.0.0.1

port=27017

serviceDescription=mongo1

serviceDisplayName=mongo1

serviceName=mongo1

• options are case sensitive . The best way to find the options are check the mongod –help
• quote on the path does not work. EX: can not use “C:\data\db”

Use below command to install as service .

mongod.exe --install --config D:\mongoDB\DBACONFIG\mongodb1.conf

Then we can find mongo db list in the service manager.

 

Errors

Failed to connect to 127.0.0.1:27017, reason: errno:10061 No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. 

This is because the you are running on the non-privilege session. change to the administrator command line would resolve this.
