Fix YAML format for MongoDB Windows mongod.cfg example

XMLWordPrintableJSON

    • 0.2

      On the part about setting up the mongod.cfg file, it needs to be stated that this is a YAML file, tabs are not recognized, any paths used need to be enclosed in double quotes and the backslashes escaped. As such, the APPROPRIATE example displayed would be:

      systemLog: 
    destination: file
    path: "c:\\data\\mongod.log"
storage:
    dbPath: "c:\\data\\db"
