= Description Simple collection of scripts for configuring, installing, and running mongo db.

= Usage On your remote box running Red Hat Enterprise Linux or CentOS, simply copy etc/init.d/mongod.centos to /etc/init.d/mongod on your remote box.

Also, copy ./etc/mongodb.conf to /etc/mongodb.conf. You can add any command line options here, rather than modifying the init script.

= Install

1. Go here and download the proper binary package for your OS: http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Downloads

This script will not do this part of the process for you.

== Linux

1. Create the data directory by running the following: sudo mkdir -p /var/log/mongodb/data

2. Run the installer script: sudo ./installer.linux

3. To start it up: sudo /etc/init.d/mongod start

Or, if you prefer to do it manually:

To install mongod as a service, you need to run the following command: /sbin/chkconfig mongod on

To check that mongo has successfully been installed as a service run the following:

/sbin/chkconfig --list | grep mongod

If all has gone correctly, you should see the following line (or something similar):

mongod 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off

== OS X

On OS X: from the repo root, run sudo ./installer.osx

This will copy the .plist file for you to /Library/LaunchDaemons/ and run launchctl -w load which will launch mongod
