            <title>[SERVER-13463] Relative path in config file for mongod.exe not working when installing window service</title>
                <link>https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/SERVER-13463</link>
                <project id="10000" key="SERVER">Core Server</project>
                    <description>&lt;p&gt;When I try to create a windows service with a config file that&lt;br/&gt;
has a relative database path. It lets me create the service but it&lt;br/&gt;
won&apos;t start. If I use the same config file to run mongo in a console it works &lt;br/&gt;
fine.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Message: &lt;a href=&quot;https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/SERVER-13463&quot; title=&quot;Relative path in config file for mongod.exe not working when installing window service&quot; class=&quot;issue-link&quot; data-issue-key=&quot;SERVER-13463&quot;&gt;&lt;del&gt;SERVER-13463&lt;/del&gt;&lt;/a&gt;: Option Validation for NT Services&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The current working directory for NT Services differs between installation time&lt;br/&gt;
and execution time. This leads to subtle user bugs where the service can fail to&lt;br/&gt;
start because directories do not exist. In the worst situation, the log file&lt;br/&gt;
directory may not exist which makes the debugging near impossible.&lt;br/&gt;

With NT Services, the current working directory varies between installation time (i.e., it may be c:\mongo as an example) while during service execution time it will be c:\windows\system32 (as an example). This means that during installation time of the service, your data directory may be &quot;c:\mongo\data\db&quot; (if you ran it from c:\mongo) but during service execution time it would be &quot;c:\windows\system32\data\db&quot; because the current working directories differ.&lt;/p&gt;</comment>

Why not treat them separately?&lt;/p&gt;</comment>
                            <comment id="533151" author="mark.benvenuto" created="Wed, 2 Apr 2014 20:24:52 +0000"  >&lt;p&gt;The working directory for an NT Service is %WINDIR%\System32 instead of the directory where you ran the --install command. This is why the relative paths in the config file failed. Use an absolute to path (d:\log, etc) to fix this.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In the future, we will likely error to prevent problems in the future.&lt;/p&gt;</comment>
