Description Christian Kaps 2013-05-17 14:53:37 UTC

It should be possible to start more than one instance of mongodb server. For other packages like memcached, tomcat or virtualbox this is already possible.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a symlink of the init script
2. Copy the config file for the service and change the port
3. Try to start the created instance
Actual Results:  
Newly created instance doesn't start

Expected Results:  
Newly created instance should start

I've already been asked this and the answer is that it is already possible. I for one use this method in production on a lot of mongodb servers.

Can you explain a bit more what doesn't work for you ?

Mhhh, you're right. I have tested it on my home machine an it works. On our dev machine at work it doesn't run. Maybe it has to do with insufficient permissions or disk space.

The bug can be closed.
