How can I run MongoDB as a Windows service?

Question

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

Hmm. That is quite a bit more work than the accepted answer :-(. — Kees de Kooter, Jan 23 '17 at 15:48

After trying for several hours, I finally did it.

Make sure:

you added the <MONGODB_PATH>\bin directory to the system variable PATH
run command prompt as administrator

Steps:

step 1: execute this command:

D:\mongodb\bin>mongod --remove

Step 2: execute this command after opening command prompt as administrator:

D:\mongodb\bin>mongod --dbpath=D:\mongodb --logpath=D:\mongodb\log.txt --install

NOTE: you can also append --serviceName MongoDB after the command above.

That's All!

After that right there in the command prompt execute:

services.msc

// OR

net start MongoDB

And look for MongoDB service and click start.

NOTE: Make sure to run command prompt as administrator.

If you don't do this, your log file (D:\mongodb\log.txt in the above example) will contain lines like these:

2016-11-11T15:24:54.618-0800 I CONTROL  [main] Trying to install Windows service 'MongoDB'
2016-11-11T15:24:54.618-0800 I CONTROL  [main] Error connecting to the Service Control Manager: Access is denied. (5)

and if you try to start the service from a non-admin console, (i.e. net start MongoDB or Start-Service MongoDB in PowerShell), you'll get a response like this:

System error 5 has occurred.
Access is denied.

or this:

Start-Service : Service 'MongoDB (MongoDB)' cannot be started due to the following error: Cannot open MongoDB service
on computer '.'.
At line:1 char:1
+ Start-Service MongoDB
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : OpenError: (System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController:ServiceController) [Start-Service],

You can also start it with `net start MongoDB` instead of using `services.msc`. (`mongod` recommended that to me.) – Joe May 01 '14 at 18:02

This worked for me. The path to the log file has to be created manually if it doesn't already exist (I used a path other than the mongo directory in the example). – dgundersen Feb 10 '15 at 15:18
At first, Mongo started as a service, but my database was empty. I could only see my previously existing database by adding \data to the path : mongod --dbpath=D:\mongodb\data – Jeremy Thille Aug 12 '15 at 10:50

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.

It seems like what you really need to do is enter the full path at the command line: c:\> c:\mongodb\bin\mongod.exe --service. However, make sure to run the command window as administrator (especially on windows server) otherwise you'll be thwarted by UAC. – JC Grubbs May 19 '10 at 19:47

Like @JCGrubbs said if you run as a regular user the command completes quietly without any errors but does not add a service.

It requires a logfile path, you can add the dbpath and logfile path like this mongod --dbpath="c:\data\db" --logpath="c:\data\db\log.txt" --install , After this you need to run net start MongoDB. – sivaram636 Oct 18 '16 at 09:46
do i need to do it per path of data? i start mongo, with hello world, and the tutorial were not just about mongo so the detail were a little. the way it did it, said go to the same path as you did, then generate a fol;ter and used --path command to send data of a collection to there... now should we lunch it per collection specifying the path? for example you lunch two application on server? – Hassan Faghihi Apr 13 '17 at 16:16

Unlike other answers this will ..

START THE SERVICE AUTOMATICALLY ON SYSTEM REBOOT / RESTART

MongoDB Install

Windows

(1) Install MongoDB

(2) Add bin to path

(3) Create c:\data\db

(4) Create c:\data\log

(5) Create c:\data\mongod.cfg with contents ..

systemLog:
    destination: file
    path: c:\data\log\mongod.log
storage:
    dbPath: c:\data\db

(6) To create service that will auto start on reboot .. RUN AS ADMIN ..

sc.exe create MongoDB binPath= "\"C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.4\bin\mongod.exe\" --service --config=\"C:\data\mongod.cfg\"" DisplayName= "MongoDB" start= "auto"

(7) Start the service .. RUN AS ADMIN ..

net start MongoDB

IMPORTANT: Even if this says 'The MongoDB service was started successfully' it can fail

To double check open Control Panel > Services, ensure the status of the MongoDB service is 'Running'

If not, check your log file at C:\data\log\mongod.log for the reason for failure and fix it

(Do not start MongoDB via Control Panel > Services, use .. net start MongoDB)

(8) Finally, restart your machine with MongoDB running and it will still be running on restart

If you ever want to kill it ..

net stop MongoDB

sc.exe delete MongoDB

thanks it worked for Me , I just had to change `3.4` to `3.6` version in this command `sc.exe create MongoDB binPath= "\"C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.4\bin\mongod.exe\" --service --config=\"C:\data\mongod.cfg\"" DisplayName= "MongoDB" start= "auto"` — guru_007, Dec 21 '17 at 17:48

The below steps apply to Windows.

Run below in an administrative cmd

mongod --remove

This will remove the existing MongoDB service (if any).

mongod --dbpath "C:\data\db" --logpath "C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.4\bin\mongod.log" --install --serviceName "MongoDB"

Make sure that C:\data\db folder exists

Open services with:

You can use the command below for running mongodb as a windows service

If you use mongodb with default parameters, you can use these values :

yourIPadress : 127.0.0.1 or localhost
yourPortNumber : 27017 (default port) or dont put --port
serviceDisplayName : only if you run more than one service (since mongodb 1.8)

The recommended way mongod --install results in error:

2015-12-03T18:18:28.896+0100 I CONTROL  --install has to be used with a log file for server output

After having installed mongodb in C:\mongodb you need to simply add the logpath:

mongod --install --logpath C:\mongodb\logs\mongo.log

The path to the logfile must exist and it must be an absolute Windows path. Then you start the MongoDB service by typing:

net start MongoDB

I'm on version 2.4.9 and using a config file. The service wouldn't start until I surrounded the equals sign in the config file with spaces:

dbpath = D:\Mongo data
logpath = C:\mongodb\logs\mongo.log 
logappend = true

Originally I had:

logpath=C:\mongodb\logs\mongo.log

I also discovered that when installing the service that you have to use an absolute path for the config file eg:

c:\mongodb\bin\>mongodb.exe C:\mongodb\bin\mongod.conf --install

Don't be tempted to put inverted commas around a dbpath with spaces. The service will appear to start when you execute net start MongoDB but it will terminate. Check the log files for confirmation that the service has really started.

Steps to run mongo as a window service

Open command prompt as administrator
Type cd C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.2\bin (check path properly, as you may have a different version installed, and not 3.2).
Press enter
Type net start MongoDB

Plz try the steps in Mongo DB: 3.6 & Windows 10

mongod --remove
mongod --dbpath=C:/data/db --port 27017 --logpath C:/data/log/log.txt --service
mongod --dbpath=C:/data/db --port 27017 --logpath C:/data/log/log.txt --install
net start MongoDB

MongoDB 4.0 runs fine on Windows 64-bit ... UNLESS you try securing it by adding the "authorization: enabled" line to the "Security" setting in mongod.cfg. Then it results in windows reporting an error message "the service did not start in a timely manner". Any idea what's happening here? – David Edwards Jul 16 '19 at 00:18
