I have installed mongodb for mac os through 10gen and I have gone through the documentation to do so. Everything seems fine apart from the configuration file. I can not see it in /etc/mongod.config. Do I have to manually create this config file? And if so how can I go about it?
cheers
Unless you have installed a packaged version of MongoDB (for example, using Homebrew or Mac Ports) you will have to create a config file manually, or just pass the appropriate command line parameters when starting up MongoDB.
If you want a commented example of a config file to start with, the mongodb.conf in the Debian/Ubuntu package should be a good starting point. Important options to check are the
dbpathandlogpathwhich will likely be different for you.It would also be worth looking at the Homebrew mongodb formula which includes setting up a LaunchAgent script to manage the mongod service.
