How can I run MongoDB as a Windows service?

How can I set up MongoDB so it can run as a Windows service?

Solution

  • I think if you run it with the --install command line switch, it installs it as a Windows Service.

    mongod --install

    It might be worth reading this thread first though. There seems to be some problems with relative/absolute paths when the relevant registry key gets written.
