I have a strange problem with my config file:

When I try to add ANY of the following entries, the server doesn't start anymore, I have tried to add them all together and by adding them one by one. 

fork = true
bind_ip = 127.0.0.1
port = 27017

If I have only the standard entries

dbpath
logpath
auth
rest

there is no problem.

This is on a windows 7 64bit system.

  • What build of MongoDB? Have you tried to recreate the file from scratch? What if the file just has one of those three (and uses defaults for everything else)? – WiredPrairie Jan 26 '13 at 01:12
  • my build is 2.2.2 and yes, I have tried to add just one of those and the same problem. – user2010435 Jan 26 '13 at 22:44
  • now I have recreated the file and saved as UTF8 and it works. Seems that this problem has to do something with file format (stored as ANSI or as UTF8 ?) – user2010435 Jan 26 '13 at 22:47

fork is not a valid Windows parameter. See this question for a fuller description: mongodb fork in windows

You may want to consider using the YAML format for your config files. They'll be much more readable as your configuration grows: http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/configuration-options/
