Install MongoDB as windows service

We can also configure MongoDB to run as a windows service .  

mongod.exe added support for running as a Windows service in version 2.0, and mongos.exe added support for running as a Windows Service in version 2.1.1.

Step 1 : Create configuration file mongod.cfg .

echo logpath=C:\mongodb\log\mongo.log > C:\mongodb\mongod.cfg

A new file mongod.cfg will be created at location C:\mongodb. This file contains an entry logpath which tells mongodb to save all logging information in the specified file mongo.log

Step 2 :  Install MongoDB as a service .

Execute following command in command prompt :

mongod --config C:\mongodb\mongod.cfg --install

A new windows service will be created .

Step 3 : Start Mongo Service 

Execute following command in command prompt :

net start MongoDB

Other Options :

1 . Stopping MongoDB Service :

     net stop MongoDB

2 . Removing MongoDb service :

     mongod.exe --remove
