Error installing mongodb on laragon php stack

Re: Mongodb Addon for Laragon

Hi,

I've tried installing mongodb on the php stack by following the steps in the referenced thread.
So I downloaded the zip from mongodb, extracted it to bin/mongodb.
I also installed the mongodb PHP extension.
But when I try to start mongodb I get the error message:

Service MongoDB can not start. Reason:
The system cannot find the path specified

When I try to start mongodb directly in the laragon terminal, the dbpath seems to be pointing to "C:\data\db\". So that is not the right path.

But when I look in the configuration file mongod.conf the dbpath is actually configured correctly. So I don't understand where he gets the wrong path from.

@tleicher : Strange. Let me check and get back to you soon.

I have installed the mean stack on top of the wamp stack and now it works.

@tleicher : I'm glad to hear that. Cheers!

@tleicher
How to install mean stack on top of wamp stack?

Can anyone help with instructions to install mongodb on laragon please...

[tleicher]

I just downloaded both the WAMP install file, the MEAN install file and installed them both.

@tleicher That's not a correct solution because "WAMP stack " should be independent to "MEAN stack ", well, that's what I think.

The problem @leokhoa is that MongoDB not take (or load) mongod.conf file, I was able start MongoDB 4.0 from the windows console using this command:

C:\laragon\bin\mongod\bin\mongod.exe --config mongod.conf

Please check this in WAMP Laragon. I'm using Laragon 3.5.
