Service install with just a config file results in a service that cannot be started

XMLWordPrintableJSON

    • Server Development Platform
    • Fully Compatible
    • Windows

      Create a simple config file

      install = true
dbpath = c:\data\db
logpath = c:\data\db\mongod.log
logappend = true
port = 29000

      If you run 

      c:\mongo\mongod.exe --config c:\data\mongod.conf

      this will result in a windows service that is created but cannot be started from either the services panel or the command line using net start MongoDB.
      When starting from the command line you get 

      The service is not responding to the control function.
More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 2186.

      When starting from the services panel you get

      Windows could not start the Mongo DB service on Local Computer
Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion

      The image path from the registry is

      "c:\mongo\mongod.exe" --config  "C:\data\mongos.conf"
