      After installing the MongoDB windows service, I checked the logfile specified in the config file, and it was being logged to correctly, but when I try to start the network service, I get the following error:
      "The service is not responding to the control function."

      If it helps, I had a much older version installed (I believe 2.1.x) for a while, and attempted to upgrade to 2.6.0 a few weeks back, but downgraded to 2.4.10 due to issue SERVER-13515. That's when the issue began, and upgrading to 2.6.1 hasn't helped.

      I attached the config file that I'm attempting to use when the issue arises.
