I've installed mongodb on my mac using homebrew using the following command in terminal:
brew services start mongodb
However when I try to set the db path, I get the following error:
mongod --dbpath
2017-02-24T09:49:08.874+0000 E QUERY [thread1] SyntaxError: missing ; before statement #(shell):1:9
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
You can run this comming in your command promt or can set this path in mongo.conf file what should work for you.
sudo mongod --port 27017 --dbpath /var/lib/mongodb

I am using aws and installed ubuntu server on aws ec2.
I installed mongodb on it.
When installing mongodb, it is working well.
But If i reboot server and try to connect mongod in termina. I am getting the following error.
MongoDB shell version v4.4.0
connecting to: mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/?compressors=disabled&gssapiServiceName=mongodb
Error: couldn't connect to server 127.0.0.1:27017, connection attempt failed: SocketException: Error connecting to 127.0.0.1:27017 :: caused by :: Connection refused :
connect#src/mongo/shell/mongo.js:362:17
#(connect):2:6
exception: connect failed
exiting with code 1
So whenever reboot server, i have to execute the following command and then mongo is working again.
sudo systemctl stop mongod
sudo rm /var/lib/mongodb/mongod.lock
sudo mongod --repair --dbpath /var/lib/mongodb
sudo mongod --fork --logpath /var/lib/mongodb/mongodb.log --dbpath /var/lib/mongodb
sudo systemctl start mongod
I think whenever reboot server, executing above command does not make sense.
If anyone have experienced, please help me.
Thanks.
After you setup the mongodb you usually would enable it, so that it starts after each reboot:
sudo systemctl enable mongod
I got a error with mongod -- dbpath
My command in mongo shell:
mongod --dbpath C:\BooksData

I use ubuntu 14.04LTS and with mongodb version 2.4.9.When I type "mongo" in terminal, it always show "connecting to: test
Tue Jun 3 10:03:57.911 Error: couldn't connect to server 127.0.0.1:27017 at src/mongo/shell/mongo.js:145
exception: connect failed".
But if i run mongod in one terminal, and run mongo in another, all is ok.
If I close the window of mongod, the connection fail again.
I need to use mongodb without open a terminal of mongod, how can I do with it ?
Thank you!
You need to start mongodb as a service or daemon(depending on the OS,in your case daemon), check the documentation
Documentation
sudo service mongod start
Or
To run a mongod process as a daemon (i.e. fork), and write its output to a log file, use the --fork and --logpath options. You must create the log directory; however, mongod will create the log file if it does not exist.
The following command starts mongod as a daemon and records log output to /var/log/mongodb.log.
mongod --fork --logpath /var/log/mongodb.log
If I try to run mongodb shell with the mongo command alone, I get:
Error: couldn't connect to server 127.0.0.1 shell/mongo.js:84
exception: connect failed
However, if I stipulate localhost's LAN IP address like this:
mongo 10.10.5.90
...it connects fine.
Any clues??
Do you have a bind_ip set in your mongodb.conf (or startup script)? edit for clarity A bind_ip setting limits the IP it will listen on to that IP only.
See the IP Address Binding section: http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Security+and+Authentication
If not, do you have any firewall rules blocking the localhost access? That would be kind of strange, but I can't think of another reason why it wouldn't work while the LAN IP would work.
This error could also appear if mongodb was not properly shutdown. If you type sudo start mongodb and if it gives a new process id on every execution then your mongodb was not properly shutdown. To resolve this type
sudo rm /var/lib/mongodb/mongod.lock
sudo -u mongodb mongod -f /etc/mongodb.conf --repair
sudo start mongodb
Just follow all these steps to solve this problem
Step 1: Remove lock file.
sudo rm /var/lib/mongodb/mongod.lock
Step 2: Repair mongodb.
mongod --repair
Step 3: start mongodb.
sudo start mongodb
or
sudo service mongodb start
Step 4: Check status of mongodb.
sudo status mongodb
or
sudo service mongodb status
Step 5: Start mongo console.
mongo
I added localhost along with the ip I had in bind_ip while starting mongo and it solved my problem, for example:
bin/mongod --dbpath data --logpath mongo.log --fork --bind_ip localhost,10.100.1.2
For people using MongoDB Compass on VMWare windows:
C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\5.0\bin by default is the Mongo server directory. You can change bindIp and port in mongod.cfg
Also make sure to check if the mongo server service is running:
win + r > services.msc > MongoDB Server (MongoDB) > Rightclick > Start.
Should save some time, hope it helps.
Edit your mongod.conf as follow
bindIp: 0.0.0.0,localhost
It works for me.
I installed MongoDB on ubuntu 11.04 followed by this site. I gave this command to run MongoDB
sudo /etc/init.d/mongodb start
It showed some error like this
sudo: /etc/init.d/mongodb: command not found
I checked the file.But it was okay.Can any one tell me how to solve this.
Please help me .I am newbie to mongoDB.
[edited] When I am connecting to mongo it is showing error like
connecting to: test
Sun Jul 3 09:57:29 Error: couldn't connect to server 127.0.0.1 shell/mongo.js:79
You may should try to run:
mongo --nodb
This worked for me.
Regarding to the connection error, you can try:
sudo -u mongodb mongod -f /etc/mongodb.conf --repair
This starts the daemon using the config file /etc/mongodb.conf and repair the database.
Then start the database:
sudo -u mongodb mongod -f /etc/mongodb.conf
