|
00:01 Let's review installing MongoDB on Windows.
|
|
|
|
|
|
00:03 It just took a couple of steps, we started out
|
|
|
|
|
|
00:05 by downloading and running the msi installer,
|
|
|
|
|
|
00:08 and then, we realized well, we don't actually have access to Mongo or Mongod
|
|
|
|
|
|
00:13 or any of the other tools from our command line, so what are we going to do—
|
|
|
|
|
|
00:17 well it turns out that it got installed into this location
|
|
|
|
|
|
00:20 and notice that the number may vary based on the released version of MongoDB,
|
|
|
|
|
|
00:24 so we went in there and we actually added that to our path;
|
|
|
|
|
|
00:27 and then we could type mongo, mongod, mongo restore
|
|
|
|
|
|
00:31 and all the various tools are going to have to use throughout the course.
|
|
|
|
|
|
00:34 And then we said all right, well this is not going to run on its own,
|
|
|
|
|
|
00:37 the way it gets installed on windows is it assumes
|
|
|
|
|
|
00:40 that there is a c data mongo or data-db,
|
|
|
|
|
|
00:43 something like that, it'll tell you on the error,
|
|
|
|
|
|
00:45 but I don't like to put stuff and just see data,
|
|
|
|
|
|
00:47 I kind of want to group stuff a little bit more
|
|
|
|
|
|
00:49 so we made some mongodb folders,
|
|
|
|
|
|
00:51 we made the c:\mongodb\data, \logs and \configs;
|
|
|
|
|
|
00:56 so those three obviously longs go in logs, data goes in data,
|
|
|
|
|
|
00:59 and then we have those two config files that we can use to run mongodb
|
|
|
|
|
|
01:03 with all the various settings set for us.
|
|
|
|
|
|
01:06 We copied the configs over, and I'll include those in the source controle
|
|
|
|
|
|
01:11 so you guys can grab the windows setup configs
|
|
|
|
|
|
01:14 and you know, just change the path to wherever you put things;
|
|
|
|
|
|
01:17 and then you want to test those configs, so we're going to test them
|
|
|
|
|
|
01:20 by saying mongod--config and the full path to the config,
|
|
|
|
|
|
01:24 this command one is meant to have no log in, so basically it spits out
|
|
|
|
|
|
01:29 the log information to the command line to the command shell,
|
|
|
|
|
|
01:32 that way you can see what's happening.
|
|
|
|
|
|
01:34 Of course, in the service version, the service actually won't install
|
|
|
|
|
|
01:37 if there's not somewhere for the logs to go to
|
|
|
|
|
|
01:39 because it knows you're not going to see anything so it has to log it for it to work.
|
|
|
|
|
|
01:42 All right, so this is just if you want to run it on the command line,
|
|
|
|
|
|
01:45 then we're going to install it as a windows service,
|
|
|
|
|
|
01:48 so this time we use the mongo-service config,
|
|
|
|
|
|
01:51 which is basically the same, other than having a log in
|
|
|
|
|
|
01:53 and we added the --install, okay.
|
|
|
|
|
|
01:57 And it was really important that we run that command prompt
|
|
|
|
|
|
02:01 as an administrator not as a regular user
|
|
|
|
|
|
02:03 otherwise it doesn't have access to alter the service configuration in windows.
|
|
|
|
|
|
02:08 All right, once this was all done, we went to the service config,
|
|
|
|
|
|
02:11 we pressed start and then we're good to go.
|
|
|
|
|
|
02:14 Final thing you might want to do, adjust the startup mode to manual,
|
|
|
|
|
|
02:18 depending on whether you want mongodb to start every time you turn on windows
|
|
|
|
|
|
02:22 or only when you click the button in the service panel.
