#45803: mongodb @2.6.5_1: Run mongod instance with config file --------------------------+-------------------------- Reporter: mark@… | Owner: ryandesign@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: Port: mongodb | --------------------------+-------------------------- Comment (by mark@…): Perhaps the port file could be changed to something like: {{{ startupitem.executable sudo -u ${mongouser} ${prefix}/bin/mongod --config ${prefix}/etc/mongodb/mongodb.conf post-activate { if {![file exists ${prefix}/etc/mongodb/mongod.conf]} { file copy ${prefix}/etc/mongodb/mongod.conf.sample \ ${prefix}/etc/mongodb/mongod.conf } } }}} The above attached file replicates the existing startup item (with SSL added). Moving to config file would make it quite a bit easier for those of us who need to add [http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference /configuration-options/ other startup options]. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/45803#comment:2> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
