How to install MongoDB on Windows(二)
In this tutorial, we will show you how to install MongoDB on Windows.
1. MongoDB 2.2.3
2. Windows 7
Note
The MongoDB does not require installation, just download and extracts the zip file, configure the data directory and start it with command “mongod“.
1. Download MongoDB
Download MongoDB from official MongoDB website. Choose Windows 32 bits or 64 bits. Unzip, extracts to your prefer location, for example : d:\mongodb.
2. Review MongoDB folder**
In MongoDB, it contains only 10+ executable files (exe) in the bin folder. This is true, and that are the required files to MongoDB, it’s really hard to believe for a developer like me who come from a relation database background.
Figure : Files under $MongoDB/bin folder
Note
It’s recommended to add $MongoDB/bin to Windows environment variable, so that you can access the MongoDB’s commands in command prompt easily.
3. Configuration File
Create a MongoDB config file, it’s just a text file, for example :
d:\mongodb\mongo.config
store data here
dbpath=D:\mongodb\data
all output go here
logpath=D:\mongodb\log\mongo.log
log read and write operations
diaglog=3
mongo.config context:
Note
MongoDB need a folder (data directory) to store its data. By default, it will store in “C:\data\db“, create this folder manually. MongoDB won’t create it for you. You can also specify an alternate data directory with –dbpath option.
4. Run MongoDB server
Use mongod.exe –config d:\mongodb\mongo.config to start MongoDB server.
d:\mongodb\bin>mongod –config D:\mongodb\mongo.config
all output going to: D:\mongodb\log\mongo.log
5. Connect to MongoDB
Uses mongo.exe to connect to the started MongoDB server.
d:\mongodb\bin>mongo
MongoDB shell version: 2.2.3
connecting to: test
//mongodb shell
6. MongoDB as Windows Service
Add MongoDB as Windows Service, so that MongoDB will start automatically following each system restart.
Install as Windows Service with –install.
d:\mongodb\bin> mongod –config D:\mongodb\mongo.config –install
A Windows service named “MongoDB” is created.
To start MongoDB Service
command: net start MongoDB
To stop MongoDB Service
command: net stop MongoDB
To remove MongoDB Service
command: d:\mongodb\bin>mongod –remove
