Default mongoose.conf file that comes with mongoose-3.1 is incorrect.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

mongoose-3.1.exe, on Windows

mongoose.conf contains lines like: 
root C:\path\of\folders
ports 80,443s

When mongoose-3.1.exe is run, it results in a message box 
"Failed to start Mongoose. Maybe some options are assigned bad values?Try to 
run with '-e error_log.txt' and check error_log.txt for more information."

The correct syntax for mongoose.conf appears to be: 
r C:\path\of\folders
p 80,443s

The description in the manual is correct:

http://code.google.com/p/mongoose/wiki/MongooseManual

"Format of the configuration file is the same as for the commandline options 
except that each option must be specified on a separateline, leading dashes for 
option names must be omitted.  Lines beginningwith '#' and empty lines are 
ignored."

there is no mongoose.conf that ships with mongoose.exe
you probably have an old one , generated by the previous version. please delete 
it.
