Error reading config file. MongoDB
Please try with the apostrophes ":
mongod.exe --config "C:\Program Files\mongodb\bin\mongo.cfg"Probably its beacuse of space in phrase "Program Files"
I realized that in my case the explorer was hidding the ".txt" extension. Once I deleted the .txt it worked perfectly. The same happened with the .cfg file
Changing to double quotes fixed the issue for me. I was trying to install mongo on Windows Server 2016.
mongod.exe --config 'C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.4\bin\mongod.cfg'
VS
mongod.exe --config "C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.4\bin\mongod.cfg"
