I upgrade my Mac OS to Catalina and now my server is not working well. I reinstalled all the system from scratch and reinstall with brew, however when trying to connect to Mongo website learning database the system does not allow through the shell. It returns in the end of the body the following message:
"ctx":"initandlisten","msg":"Shutting down","attr":{"exitCode":48}
I don't know about MAC OS but I faced the same issue on my Ubuntu 20.04 recently. I was trying to run the mongodb server on local machine using a specified path data which is a directory(folder). But it was giving me the same exitcode:48 as mentioned by you. I solved it by stopping the mongod server running on my system using the command:
sudo systemctl stop mongod
And then executed the command:
mongod --dbpath=data --bind_ip 127.0.0.1
With the following code, on Terminal you can find PID for mongodb and kill it:
lsof -i :27017 | awk '{print $2}' | tail -n 1 | xargs kill -9
The default mongodb port number is 27017. You can change it if you have another mongodb port number.
FYI, awk, tail are just extracting the PID number for the given port and, if it exists, then it goes and terminates it.
You already tried to specify another port?
Like mongo shell: mongod --port 27018
In my case, I went through the error, and found it was due to the permission issue for,
data/db folder creation
it was not able to open the socket.
Fixed it by below
created the data/db folder in my convenient directory, ie in my common codebase folder
> mkdir data && cd data && mkdir db
> pwd
/User/{uname}/codebase/data/db
mongob --dbpath="/User/{uname}/codebase/data/db"
I'm a newbie to Mongodb. I installed Mongodb 3.4 and setup two config files each config has different port and share a same ip address. How can I shut down instance in mongoA.conf file. Try to use command "sudo service mongod stop" But it doesn't know which config file to stop the service. Thanks in advance
start two instances Mongodb config files:
mongod --config /etc/mongoA.conf
mongod --config /etc/mongoB.conf
You can find PID of mongod port. Then kill process on that PID.
To find all PID mongod, type:
# ps -aux | grep mongod
You will see on console:
root 28035 0.9 18.5 5319648 2992608 ? Sl Apr06 1493:14 mongod --config /etc/mongoA.conf
Then kill process on this PID:
# sudo kill -9 NUMBER_PID
On above example, NUMBER_PID is 28035.
On OSX ps -alx will give the same list of processes.
If you allow kill to send the default TERM signal by not using -9 explicitly it will allow the database to catch the TERM signal and shutdown cleanly.
My mongodb run under Linux 6. I use the command db.shutdownServer() to close the database but the mongod process does not stop.
Stopping mongo directly with service mongod stop do a clean shutdown?
Thanks for your help
Proper ways to shutdown mongod is described in the documentation. They are:
Use shutdownServer()
From the mongo shell
use admin
db.shutdownServer()
Use --shutdown
From the Linux command line
mongod --shutdown
Use CTRL-C
When running the mongod instance in interactive mode, issue Control-C
Use kill
From the Linux command line
kill mongoProcessID
kill -2 mongodProcessID
So you need to figure out how /etc/init.d/mongodb stop actually stops the process on your Linux distribution. For example, on Debian it uses the wrapper which behaves similar to killall which is a proper method.
As per the documentation of mongodb, mongod --shutdown will work on linux system, but, on Mac, the --shutdown switch is not recognised. However, per the documentation, Ctrl+C will cleanly shutdown the db server. When you do a Ctrl+C on the same terminal where the db server is running, it initiates a dozen or so signalProcessingThread which indicates that the shutdown is proper and smooth. At the end, you can see that the process exits with code:0. Per the convention, Ctrl+C is awkward, but is clean, although not seemingly graceful.
I've been trying to run mongo on my system, but I just doesn't want to start. I've installed mongodb with brew. Both mongo and mongod are on my system and I can use them. But the mongod process won't start.
These are the steps I'm taking after I installed mongo on my system with brew.
$ mongod
all output going to: /usr/local/var/log/mongodb/mongo.log
$
It seems mongod is closing directly, because I don't see any process running and it gives me the dollar sign back again. Thereby there's no rotating icon in my terminal, so it isn't running.
If I open a new window in the terminal after running the above command, I'm getting this error:
$ mongo
MongoDB shell version: 2.4.3
connecting to: test
Thu May 23 12:22:09.314 JavaScript execution failed: Error: couldn't connect to server 127.0.0.1:27017 at src/mongo/shell/mongo.js:L112
exception: connect failed
$
This output is a logical error seen from the fact mongod didn't do a thing. But when I run this:
$ ps -ef | grep mongod
501 99123 15827 0 12:24PM ttys001 0:00.00 grep mongod
$
So I'm not sure or it's running or not.. You guys know a solution for this? Because I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong..
update
I've tried to change the db path and that works partially. I'm now able to run mongod command, but I need to specify the dbPath even though I have the dbPath changed in the config file.
$ mongod --dbpath ~/data/db/
And when I try to run mongod by itself, it won't run..
$ mongod
all output going to: /usr/local/var/log/mongodb/mongo.log
$
I don't have a working solution, but from your output, it seems like mongod is running daemonized. You could try setting the 'fork' option to false (or uncommenting it) in /usr/local/Cellar/mongodb/2.4.x-x86_64/mongod.conf and running mongod with the -v / --verbose flag to see if that gives you more details.
Also, are you sure you're actually using the homebrew version of mongo and not some previously installed version? You can check which mongod is used by running:
➜ ~ which mongod
/usr/local/bin/mongod
And the following to see if that's indeed the version that got installed using homebrew:
➜ ~ ls -l /usr/local/bin/mongod
lrwxr-xr-x 1 user admin 41 21 mrt 22:06 /usr/local/bin/mongod -> ../Cellar/mongodb/2.4.x-x86_64/bin/mongod
The default data directory is /data/db. In order to have that work by default you need to do two things:
sudo mkdir -p /data/db
sudo chown `whoami` /data/db
I need to be able to start/stop MongoDB on the cli. It is quite simple to start:
./mongod
But to stop mongo DB, I need to run open mongo shell first and then type two commands:
$ ./mongo
use admin
db.shutdownServer()
So I don't know how to stop mongo DB in one line. Any help?
Starting and Stopping MongoDB is covered in the MongoDB manual. It explains the various options of stopping MongoDB through the shell, cli, drivers etc. It also details the risks of incorrectly stopping MongoDB (such as data corruption) and talks about the different kill signals.
Additionally, if you have installed MongoDB using a package manager for Ubuntu or Debian then you can stop mongodb (currently mongod in ubuntu) as follows:
Upstart: sudo service mongod stop
Sysvinit: sudo /etc/init.d/mongod stop
Or on Mac OS X
Find PID of mongod process using $ top
Kill the process by $ kill <PID> (the Mongo docs have more info on this)
Or on Red Hat based systems:
service mongod stop
Or on Windows if you have installed as a service named MongoDB:
net stop MongoDB
And if not installed as a service (as of Windows 7+) you can run:
taskkill /f /im mongod.exe
To learn more about the problems of an unclean shutdown, how to best avoid such a scenario and what to do in the event of an unclean shutdown, please see: Recover Data after an Unexpected Shutdown.
If you literally want a one line equivalent to the commands in your original question, you could alias:
mongo --eval "db.getSiblingDB('admin').shutdownServer()"
Mark's answer on starting and stopping MongoDB via services is the more typical (and recommended) administrative approach.
mongod --dbpath /path/to/your/db --shutdown
More info at official: http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/manage-mongodb-processes/
If the server is running as the foreground process in a terminal, this can be done by pressing
Ctrl-C
Another way to cleanly shut down a running server is to use the shutdown command,
> use admin
> db.shutdownServer();
Otherwise, a command like kill can be used to send
the signal. If mongod has 10014 as its PID, the command would be
kill -2 10014
I followed the official MongoDB documentation for stopping with signals. One of the following commands can be used (PID represents the Process ID of the mongod process):
kill PID
which sends signal 15 (SIGTERM), or
kill -2 PID
which sends signal 2 (SIGINT).
Warning from MongoDB documentation:
Never use kill -9 (i.e. SIGKILL) to terminate a mongod instance.
If you have more than one instance running or you don't care about the PID, you could use pkill to send the signal to all running mongod processes:
pkill mongod
or
pkill -2 mongod
or, much more safer, only to the processes belonging to you:
pkill -U $USER mongod
or
pkill -2 -U $USER mongod
NOTE:
If the DB is running as another user, but you have administrative rights, you have invoke the above commands with sudo, in order to run them. E.g.:
sudo pkill mongod
sudo pkill -2 mongod
PS
Note: I resorted to using signals because mongod --shutdown, although mentioned in the current MongoDB documentation, did not work on my machine (macOS, mongodb v3.4.10, installed with homebrew):
Error parsing command line: unrecognised option '--shutdown'
Update 2022-05-10
meanwhile option --shutdown is marked in the documentation as "Supported on Linux only".
PPS
(macOS specific) Before anyone wonders: no, I could not stop it with command
brew services stop mongodb
because I did not start it with
brew services start mongodb
I had started mongod with a custom command line :-)
Use mongod --shutdown
According to the official doc : manage-mongodb-processes/
:D
create a file called mongostop.bat
save the following code in it
mongo admin --eval "db.shutdownServer()"
run the file mongostop.bat and you successfully have mongo stopped
My special case is:
previously start mongod by:
sudo -u mongod mongod -f /etc/mongod.conf
now, want to stop mongod.
and refer official doc Stop mongod Processes, has tried:
(1) shutdownServer but failed:
> use admin
switched to db admin
> db.shutdownServer()
2019-03-06T14:13:15.334+0800 E QUERY [thread1] Error: shutdownServer failed: {

(3) previous start command adding --shutdown:

killing process with pid: 30213

(4) use service to stop:
service mongod stop
and
service mongod status
show expected Active: inactive (dead) but mongod actually still running, for can see process from ps:
# ps -edaf | grep mongo | grep -v grep
root 30213 1 0 Feb04 ? 03:33:22 mongod --port PORT --dbpath=/var/lib/mongo
and finally, really stop mongod by:
# sudo mongod -f /etc/mongod.conf --shutdown
killing process with pid: 30213
until now, root cause: still unknown ...
hope above solution is useful for your.
Building on the answer from stennie:
mongo --eval "db.getSiblingDB('admin').shutdownServer();quit()"
I found that mongo was trying to reconnect to the db after the server shut down, which would cause a delay and error messages. Adding quit() after shutdown speeds it up and reduces the messages, but there is still one.
I also want to add context - I'm starting and stopping mongod as part of test cases for other code, so registering as a service does not fit the use case. I am hoping to end up with something that runs on all platforms (this tested in windows right now). I'm using mongod 3.6.9
One liners to start or stop mongodb service using command line;
To start the service use: NET START MONGODB
To stop the service use: NET STOP MONGODB
I use this myself, it does work.
From the given commands I think you're on Linux.
Start MongoDB:
$ sudo service mongod start
mongod start/running, process XXXXX
Check the Status:
$ sudo service mongod status
mongod start/running, process XXXXX
Stop MongoDB:
$ sudo service mongod stop
mongod stop/waiting
Using homebrew (recommended way):
To start:
brew services start mongodb-community
To stop:
brew services stop mongodb-community
I simply did:
quit();
Please note I'm using mongo 3.0.

Then to start it again: Start-Service MongoDB
To verify whether it's started, run: net start | findstr MongoDB.

Kindly take advantage of the Task Manager provided by your OS for a quick and easy solution. Below is the screengrab from/for Windows 10. Right-click on the highlighted process and select stop. Select start, if already stopped.
Please Note: Internally the commands are doing the same thing which you have to do manually using a GUI (Task Manager), provided by Windows/your OS. Though, this approach to be used for study/practice purpose to get started and you won't be blocked due to this.
To start
sudo /etc/init.d/mongodb start
To stop
sudo /etc/init.d/mongodb stop
