MongoDB - shutting down with code 48 - mongodb

Question

I am trying to start MongoDB but the terminal returns the following error:
2017-02-06T16:26:27.037+0000 I CONTROL [initandlisten] MongoDB starting : pid=25184 port=27017 dbpath=/data/db 64-bit host=Janiss-MacBook-Pro.local

I am using Laravel Valet if that matters.

Answer 1

It seems like you have already a process running on the port where you want to start mongodb:
listen(): bind() failed Address already in use for socket: 0.0.0.0:27017
2017-02-06T16:26:27.038+0000 E NETWORK [initandlisten] addr already in use
you could try to kill the process that runs on that port with this command:
sudo kill sudo lsof -t -i:27017
or define another port for mongodb if you have another program using that port.
to run mongodb on a port other than its default port (27017) use the --port 27018 argument when starting mongodb from the terminal

Answer 2

If you are using mac then you can simply kill the process running on port 27017 which is mongodb process in most cases.
Simply run the command.
npx kill-port 27017
After that you can run the mongod command as you normally do.
Or if you are using windows follow these steps
Run command line as Admin
netstat -ano | findstr :27017
you will get pid in the end that is the process id to kill
taskkill /PID <typeyourPIDhere> /F
after successful termination of process you can run mongod as you usually do!
Enjoy!

Answer 3

This has worked for me
Initially i was facing various issues, like when i tried to start the server by using:
sudo mongod
then i changed port for mongodb
sudo mongod --port 27018
Now mongod server is running tentatively
sudo mongod

Answer 4

Basically you just need to force quit the mongo, you can do this just by typing
sudo pkill -f mongod
and now you can start the server again with
mongod

Answer 5

For me the kill process did not work. Probably because my mongo instance was running on AWS. So, what I did was log onto a mongo shell. (This was possible as mongo instance is running) And switched to the admin DB thru 'use admin' and did 'db.shutdownServer()'. And that shut down the server cleanly
use admin
db.shutdownServer()

Answer 6

I had the same issue (MongoDB failed to start with exit code 48) after a reboot, as it could not bind to the given IP.
It turned out, that the mongod systemctl unit file was configured to launch the mongod service after the network.target. I changed this to network-online.target and it seems to work.

Answer 7

1.And if the mongod show error (shutting down with code 48) that
means the port is being already use so you can do two things
1.a Either you change the port of mongod by specifying port
number
mongod --dbpath /System/Volumes/Data/data/db (path of db) —port 27018
1.b Or You can kill the process at that port by finding
the process by
sudo lsof -i :27017
and then kill by command
kill -9 <PID>
2.Starting mongo db using brew services run mongodb-community
3.Type mongod or mongod --dbpath /System/Volumes/Data/data/db(path)

Answer 8

How I solved my issue?
I don't know the actual reason for this error and its solution but I deleted mongodb database folders C:\data\db and restarted my PC.

Answer 9

2017-02-06T16:26:27.038+0000 E NETWORK [initandlisten] listen(): bind() failed Address already in use for socket: 0.0.0.0:27017.
It means the server 27017 is already in use.
You can try mongod --dbpath /System/Volumes/Data/data/db --port 27018.
Or
You can first stop the mongod by sudo pkill -f mongod.
Then restart the server by mongod --dbpath /System/Volumes/Data/data/db

Answer 10

In some cases we may be unaware of the process id where we have initiated mongodb , and we are not able to track it, as we might have forgot to shut it down in such cases:
step 1: first of all try to know the process id where it is being established, and
to know that, type below code in terminal:
lsof -i | grep 27017
Once you type the above code, you will be able to see process id's using your mongodb server:
enter image description here
As you can see in the above picture, there you can find that "9663" is the process id where your mongodb server is active.
Step 2: Now we need to kill this process, by typing the command:
kill <pid>
In the above code pid stands for process id, as shown in the above image the process id looks similar to that of "9336".
Step 3: Now we have successfully killed the process and then we are good to start
the server of mongodb using the command:
mongod
Now you are good to go!
