I have installed mongodb-community according to:
https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-os-x/
For some reason the permissions for running the service is set to "root" instead of my current user. Which result in that I can't start the service.
~/Library/LaunchAgents
❯ brew services ls
Name Status User File
mongodb-community error 3584 root ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.mongodb-community.plist
What permissions do I need to change?
I've verified that the permissions of these files are set to my current user:
/usr/local/etc/mongod.conf
/usr/local/var/log/mongodb
/usr/local/var/mongodb
I've also tried to load and unload this plist file with the launchagent:
homebrew.mxcl.mongodb-community.plist
The permission of the plist file (that brew services list refers to) seems to be set to my current user:
~/Library/LaunchAgents
❯ ls -la homebrew.mxcl.mongodb-community.plist
-rw-r--r-- 1 <myusername> staff 971 Aug 23 08:57 homebrew.mxcl.mongodb-community.plist
This was the solution:
> ls -l /tmp/mongodb-27017.sock
srwx------ 1 root wheel 0 Aug 22 14:41 /tmp/mongodb-27017.sock
> sudo rm -rf /tmp/mongodb-27017.sock
> brew services restart mongodb-community
> brew services list
Name Status User File

I am using EC2(for Ubuntu 16.04) and i have installed mongodb 3.6
but when i start it using following command
mongod --port 27017 --dbpath /data/db
It is giving following error
An unsupported journal format detected - If you are trying to rollback from version 4.0 to 3.6, please re-start a 4.0 binary and cleanly shut it down so that the journal format will be downgraded.
Assertion: 28595:13: Permission denied src/mongo/db/storage/wiredtiger/wiredtiger_kv_engine.cpp 488

please suggest
Try:
sudo service mongod restart
sudo service mongod status
sudo service mongod stop
sudo service mongod status
and then maybe your commands to follow
When I try to start mongod with the following command:
mongod --dbpath data/db
I get the following error:
[initandlisten] exception in initAndListen: 98 Unable to lock file:
data/db/mongod.lock errno:45 Operation not supported. Is a mongod instance
already running?, terminating
but when I use the ps command line, I don't see any running mongod instance.
I have tried to:
delete the whole directory data/ and recreate the path data/db
change the rights of the file mongod.lock
But none of these worked.
Any idea of what I should do? Thanks
Not All File systems support locking, Are you by any chance using NFS?
could you add FS type, mount options and permissions for your data folder?
mongod instance on /data/db partition works fine. But when I created a new directory /data/rs1 for database and initialized mongod on it using
mongod --logpath "1.log" --dbpath /data/rs1 --port 27017
It gives me the following error:
STORAGE [initandlisten] exception in initAndListen: 98 Unable to create/open lock file: /data/rs1/mongod.lock errno:13 Permission denied Is a mongod instance already running?, terminating
However if i try to initiate the same instance using 'sudo' , it works fine. Also, I have tried changing the permissions for /data/rs1 to the current user using chown, it doesn't work either. These are the current permissions of /data/rs1 folder
drwxr-xr-x 9 user123 wheel 306 Apr 27 14:32 rs1
Are there any other permissions that I am missing for /data/rs1?
Note: There is no instance of mongod running when I run the above command
I am new to Zookeeper and it has being a real issue to install it and run. I am not sure what is wrong in here but I will explain what I've being doing to make it more clear:
1.- I've followed the installation guide provided by Apache. This means download the Zookeeper distribution (stable release) extracted the file and moved into the home directory.
2.- As I am using Ubuntu 12.04 I've modified the .bashrc file including this:
export ZOOKEEPER_INSTALL=/home/myusername/zookeeper-3.4.5
export PATH=$PATH:$ZOOKEEPER_INSTALL/bin
3.- Create a config file on conf/zoo.cfg
tickTime=2000
dataDir=/var/zookeeper
clientPort=2181
and also tried with:
dataDir=/var/log/zookeeper
and
dataDir=/var/bin/zookeeper
4.- When running the start command
zkServer.sh start or `bin/zkServer.sh start` nothing happens and always returns this
JMX enabled by default
Using config: /home/sasuke/zookeeper-3.4.5/bin/../conf/zoo.cfg
mkdir: cannot create directory `/var/zookeeper': Permission denied
Starting zookeeper ... /home/sasuke/zookeeper-3.4.5/bin/zkServer.sh: line 113: /var/zookeeper/zookeeper_server.pid: No such file or directory
FAILED TO WRITE PID
I have Java installed and inside the zookeper directory there is a zookeeper.jar file that I think it's not running.
Checking here on stackoverflow there was a guy that said he could run zookeeper after typing
ssh localhost
But when I try to do it I get this error
ssh: connect to host localhost port 22: Connection refused
Please help. I've being here trying to solve it for too long.
Getting started guide of zookeeper:
http://zookeeper.apache.org/doc/r3.1.2/zookeeperStarted.html
Previous case solved with the shh localhost
Zookeeper: FAILED TO WRITE PID
UPDATE:
The permissions for log are:
drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 4096 Oct 10 07:52 log
and for zookeeper:
drwxr-xr-x 2 zookeeper zookeeper 4096 Mar 23 2012 zookeeper
Should I change any of these?
I have had the same problem. In my case was useful to start Zookeeper and directly specify a configuration file:
/bin/zkServer.sh start conf/zoo.conf
It seems you do not have the required permissions. The /var/log owner is is going to be root. Zookeeper stores the process id and snapshot of data in that directory. The process id of the spawned zookeeper server is stored in a file -zookeeper_server.pid (as of 3.3.6)
If you have root previleges, you could start zookeeper with sudo (root) previleges, it should work but definitely not recommended. Make sure you start zookeeper with the same(or higher) permissions as the owner of the directory.
Create a new directory in your home folder like /home/username/zookeeper-data.
Let dataDir point to that directory and it should work.
The default zookeeper installation (tar extract) comes with the conf file named conf/zoo_sample.cfg while the same extract's bin/zkServer.sh expects the conf file to be called zoo.cfg thereby resulting in a "No such file or dir" and the "failed to write pid" error. So before running zkServer.sh to start or stop zookeeper instance, either:
rename the zoo_sample.cfg in the conf dir to zoo.cfg, or
give the name (and path) to the conf file (as suggested by Ilya Lapitan), or, of course
edit zkServer.sh ;-)
When you create the Directory for dataDir make sure to use the -p option. This will allow subsequent directories to be created as required by the application placing files.
mkdir -p /var/log/zookeeperData
Then set:
dataDir=/var/log/zookeeperData
Seems there's all kinds of reasons this can happen. So many helpful answers here!
For me, I had improper line endings in my zoo.cfg file, and possibly invisible characters, so zookeeper was trying to create directories like /var/zookeeper? and /var/zookeeper\r. Reworking my zoo.cfg a bit fixed it for me, along with deleting zoo_sample.conf.
This happens to me due to low disk space. cause zookeeper cant create pid file inside zookeeper data folder.
I have faced the same issue while starting the zookeeper with this command:
hadoop#ubuntu:~/hadoop/zookeeper/zookeeper-3.4.8$ bin/zkServer.sh
start
ERROR [main] client.ConnectionManager$HConnectionImplementation:
The node /hbase is not in ZooKeeper.
It should have been written by the master. Check the value configured in zookeeper.znode.parent. There could be a mismatch with the one configured in the master.
But running the script as su rectified the issue:
hadoop#ubuntu:~/hadoop/zookeeper/zookeeper-3.4.8$ sudo bin/zkServer.sh
start
ZooKeeper JMX enabled by default Using config:
/home/hadoop/hadoop/zookeeper/zookeeper-3.4.8/bin/../conf/zoo.cfg
Starting zookeeper ... STARTED
Go to /usr/local/etc/
You will find zookeeper directory
delete the directory
and restart the server - zkServer start
Change the path give dataDir=/tmp/zookeeper. If it works then its clearly access issues
But its generally not advisable to use tmp directory.
This seems to be an ownership issue; running the following solved this for me.
$ sudo chown -R $USER /var/lib/zookeeper
N.B.
I've outlined my steps below which show the error I was getting (the same as the error in this SO question) and the attempt at trying the solution proposed by a user above, which advised to provide zoo.cfg as an argument.

REF:
- https://askubuntu.com/questions/6723/change-folder-permissions-and-ownership
For me this solution worked:
I granted the read, write and execute permissions for everyone using the command $sudo chmod 777 foldername for the directory zookeeper by going inside the directory /var (/var/zookeeper).
After executing this command try running the zookeeper. It ran in my case
try to use sudo -E bin/zkServer.sh start
