Mongoose 3.0 executable does not start

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Download Mongoose 3.0 from Downloads page
2. Copy it to the directory I would like to use, i.e. c:\inetpub\mt
3. Rename to Mongoose.exe and start

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Instead of start it shows "Failed to start Mongoose. Maybe some options are 
assigned bad values..."

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Mongoose 3.0, Windows XP, Windows 2003 Server

Please provide any additional information below.
I tried to start it with "-e errorlog.txt" as it suggested but no errorlog was 
created. 
I decided to install 2.9 version, downloaded the install file, made the 
installation to c:\inetpub\mongoose-2.9 directory. Mongoose started without 
problems. Then I copied new mongoose 3.0 into c:\inetpub\mongoose-2.9, 
substituting mongoose.exe with new version. And it started. 
If I rename the directory mongoose-2.9 to something other, it does not start.
So please explain what's wrong. Why I can not use mongoose-3.0 executable only?

Well, I found the reason.
mongoose-3.0.exe didn't start as stand-alone because the port 8080 was occupied 
by another application on the PCs where I tried to start it. As soon as I freed 
up the port mongoose started. 
It is essential to start mongoose.exe first time in order to generate proper 
mongoose.conf because the syntax of this file has been changed.
I changed the port in .conf to 5800: 
listening_ports 5800
and restarted mongoose-3.0.exe, it was launched on a new port, so I returned 
back 8080 to the application it was used before
