I have attempted to run mongod.exe after downloading the 64bit Windows build; and immediately have this error: – ...>mongod Thu Dec 09 18:42:39 shutdown: going to close listening sockets... Thu Dec 09 18:42:39 dbexit: really exiting now I'm reading through the 'MongoDB: The Definitive Guide' and it indicates that c:\data\db\ should be the default directory on Windows. Trivial issue of course, just pointing it out! |

I can't find any place in the documentation that still has an issue with Windows paths (I suspect that it's been fixed and this issue has grown stale), and it seems that Feel free to reopen, if I've missed something here. |

We should remove c:\ from the docs as its really whatever drive you're on |

Ah, the message is a bit misleading - after mkdir C:\data\db\ mongodb does start up as intended. I suppose the lack of C:/ at the front of the path made me assume it was thinking I was on Linux, when it was really alright to begin with. Not really a bug now? |
