#45803: mongodb @2.6.5_1: Run mongod instance with config file -------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: mark@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.2 Keywords: | Port: mongodb -------------------------+-------------------------------- As indicated in the documentation, it is preferred to run the mongod instance via the config file, not command line parameters: http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/program/mongod/#cmdoption--config I've attached a sample mongod.conf file that replicates the existing options - plus one SSL option now mongodb compiles with `--ssl` by default. I'm not sure how MacPorts handles default config files when installing or updating ports. I imagine that you would want to create `mongod.conf` if it doesn't exist, but name it `mongod-default.conf` if one does exist as to not overwrite user-defined parameters that might be needed for the instance to start. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/45803> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
