Configuring MongoDB on Windows

Question

I am trying to set up MongoDB on Windows, and the online docs seem far from accurate.

Under \"Configure a Windows Service\" part, step 1 mentions to create a config file

Answer 1

Bit late but I had the exact same issue today. If you use forward slashes for your paths within the config file it works fine.

systemLog: destination: file logAppend: true path: "e:/mongo_data/3.6/mongo.log" storage: dbPath: "e:/mongo_data/3.6/db" engine: "wiredTiger"
