MongoDB windows set-up

Sharing how I did my  MongoDB set-up :D

1. Download MongoDB

http://www.mongodb.org/downloads

2. Extract zip file

3.  Install and run MongoDB as service

Notes

--dbpath  :  the data folder where mongoDB would store it's Files

--logpath  : the path to the file where the service installation log would be written

--install    : installs mongoDB as a windows Service

--serviceName : obvious :P

--help  for more info

The logs below indicate that you have successfully installed mongoDB as a windowsservice

Open local services  to verify

type net start MongoDB to start the recently installed windows service

4.Check MongoDB

to view the db startup, open the log file that you used during installation. You should have something similar to the picture below:

open web admin console

http://localhost:28017/

Blog

BLOG
It's been more than a year since my last blog entry. :) I think It's time to fix some of the typos and grammatical errors on my old entries and start blogging again. I'm studying for my OCJP exam and I think blogging about it would benefit me and the readers ( if I have one LOL)

Palindrome

Palindrome

below is my take on the palindrome challenge posted by a friend on FB
Code #2: Make a function 'is_palindrome' where it takes string as an input and returns a Boolean value if it is a palindrome or not. The function should follow recursive function calls so for/while loops should not be seen in the code.
