I am trying to set up Mongo DB as a service under Win XP sp3 (mongod says sp2), version 2.0.6 pdfile version 4.5

To do this I have set up a config file -

1. mongodb.cfg

1. data directory
   dbpath = "C:\Documents and Settings\xxx\Ubiquiti UniFi\data\db"

1. log file directory
   logpath = "C:\logs\server.log"

1. append to log file
   logappend = true

1. port mongodb listens on
   port = 27117

My command line is -

"C:\Documents and Settings\Robin StClair\Ubiquiti UniFi\bin\mongod.exe" --config "C:\Documents and Settings\Robin StClair\Ubiquiti UniFi\conf\mongodb.cfg" --install

as I wish to set up Mongo DB as a service.

Mongod.exe executes, finds and opens the config file and then an errno:22 is thrown and mongod.exe shuts down gracefully.

I believe this is a Visual C++ error (doesn't like long command strings, hence my short path to log file (to see if that would get rid of the problem)).

I would be grateful for some guidance
