I installed mongodb through Homebrew. The configuration file is located in /usr/local/etc/mongod.conf. If I type mongod into the terminal it will fail to find that conf file. So I'm left wondering what conf file it's using by default.

It looks like you always need to set the config file. There is no default one. Brew tells you as much when you do brew info mongodb, then it says that you can run mongod using the --config option. So I ended up creating an alias so I don't have to worry about setting the config every time.

Or you can use http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/method/db.serverCmdLineOpts/#db.serverCmdLineOpts I am pretty sure this question is a duplicate actually – Sammaye Dec 07 '14 at 01:54

When I searched stackoverflow I couldn't find a satisfying answer. When you start `mongod` without setting a conf file you it complains that the dbpath is not set. – Jonathan Dec 07 '14 at 09:01
