You can try to delete the root directory .mongorc.js file. To do this in mac OS you can use cd ~/&&ls -al, if you see .mongorc.js that is owned by root, so we can use sudo rm .mongorc.js to delete it.
I got the same error in Ubuntu-18. Initially I logged in as normal user. I typed mongo on the terminal. So I got same above error. So I switched to the root user using sudo -s This time when I typed mongo command on the terminal I'm able to connect mongo server. So I thought this service is not available for the normal user.

I'm trying to run Mongo from the Command-Line:
What's wrong? (I've IIS on localhost:80). And Apache on port 8080. Are there any issues
with this?
C:\MONGO\Project1\mongo\bin>mongo --port 27017
MongoDB shell version: 2.0.3
connecting to: 127.0.0.1:27017/test
Sat Mar 10 16:16:45 Error: couldn't connect to server 127.0.0.1:27017 shell/mong
o.js:86
exception: connect failed
I found that when I got this error it wasn't because I didn't have my default db path set up. It was because I was trying to run mongo.exe before running mongod.exe.
Did you create the default db path?
It defaults to "/data/db directory (or c:\data\db on Windows)"
Source: http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Starting+and+Stopping+Mongo
As Admin, create directory:
mkdir c:\mongo\data\db
As Admin, install service:
.\mongod.exe --install --logpath c:\mongo\logs --logappend --bind_ip 127.0.0.1 --dbpath c:\mongo\data\db --directoryperdb
Start MongoDB:
net start MongoDB
Start Mongo Shell:
c:\mongo\bin\mongo.exe
Follow
Create default db folder.
c:\data\db
and also log folder
c:\data\log\mongo.log
or use following commands in command-prompt
mkdir c:\data\log
mkdir c:\data\db
Create config file in bin folder of mongo (or you may in save your desired destination).
Add following in text file named "mongod" and save it as
mongod.cfg
dbpath=c:\data\db
logpath=c:\data\log\mongo.log
or use following commands in command-prompt
echo dbpath=c:\data\db>> "mongod.cfg"
echo logpath=c:\data\log\mongo.log>> "mongod.cfg"
Now open command-prompt (administrator) and run the following command to start mongo server
mongod
Open another command-prompt (don't close 1st prompt) and run client command:
mongo
Hope this will help or you have done this already.
The error occurs when trying to run mongo.exe WITHOUT having executed mongod.exe.
The following batch script solved the problem:
#echo off
cd C:\mongodb\bin\
start mongod.exe
start mongo.exe
exit
If you are getting these type of errors when running mongod from command line or running mongodb server,
then follow these steps,
Create db and log directories in C: drive
C:/data/db and C:data/log
Create an empty log file in log dir named mongo.log
Run mongod from command line to run the mongodb server or create a batch file on desktop which can run the mongod.exe file from your mongodb installation direction. That way you just have to click the batch file from your desktop and mongodb will start.
If you have 32-bit system, try using --journal with mongod command.
Create default db folder.
c:\data\db
and also log folder
c:\data\log\mongo.log
or use following commands in command-prompt
mkdir c:\data\log
mkdir c:\data\db
you can use below command,
mongod --dbpath=D:\home\mongodata
where D:\home\mongodata is the data storage path
Go to C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.4\bin using cmd and
write mongod.
Open another cmd by right click and run as admin point to your
monogodb installed directory as mentioned above and then just like
write this mongo.exe
After that, write db.test.save({Field:'Hello mongodb'}) this command
will insert a field having name Field and value is Hello
mongodb.
After, check the record db.test.find() and press enter you will find
the record that you have recently entered.
Steps to start a certain local MongoDB instance and to connect to in from NodeJS app:
Create mongod.cfg for a new database using the path C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.0\mongod.cfg with the content
systemLog:
destination: file
path: C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.0\log\mongod.log
storage:
dbPath: C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.0\data\db
Install mongoDB database by running
mongod.exe --config "C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.0\mongod.cfg" --install
Run a particular mongoDB database
mongod.exe --config "C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.0\mongod.cfg"
Run mongoDB service
mongo 127.0.0.1:27017/db
and !see mongoDB actual connection string to coonect to the service from NodeJS app

thank you !
You can delete the .mongorc.js file and the problem would be solved. To do this in macOS you can use cd ~/&&ls -al, if you see .mongorc.js that is owned by the root user, so you can use sudo rm .mongorc.js to delete it.

I followed the MongoDb Docs to setup my first MongoDb,
When I start MongoDB using the command
C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.4\bin\mongod.exe
I get the following error
exception in initAndListen: 29 Data directory C:\data\db\ not found., terminating
shutdown: going to close listening sockets...
shutdown: going to flush diaglog...
now exiting
shutting down with code:100
MongoDB needs a folder to store the database. Create a C:\data\db\ directory:
mkdir C:\data\db
and then start MongoDB:
C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.4\bin\mongod.exe
Sometimes C:\data\db folder already exists due to previous installation. So if for this reason mongod.exe does not work, you may delete all the contents from C:\data\db folder and execute mongod.exeagain.
For macOS users to fix this issue:
You need to go through the following steps:
Create the “db” directory. This is where the Mongo data files will live. You can create the directory in the default location by running:
sudo mkdir -p /data/db
Make sure that the /data/db directory has the right permissions by running:
sudo chown -R `id -un` /data/db
You're all set now and you can run sudo mongod to start the Mongo server.
It's not working if you run only mongod
Source.
Same issue on my Mac (using Brew) solved using:
sudo mongod
For macOS users take care of below issue:
if you installing MongoDB Community on macOS using .tgz Tarball
((Starting with macOS 10.15 Catalina, Apple restricts access to the MongoDB default data directory of /data/db. On macOS 10.15 Catalina, you must use a different data directory, such as /usr/local/var/mongodb.))
you can solve it as the following:
(MacOS Catalina onwards)
Apple created a new Volume in Catalina for security purposes. If you’re on Catalina, you need to create the /data/db folder in System/Volumes/Data.
Use this command:
sudo mkdir -p /System/Volumes/Data/data/db
Then, use this command to give permissions:
sudo chown -R `id -un` /System/Volumes/Data/data/db
this will replace normal
sudo mkdir -p /data/db
Make sure that the /data/db directory has the right permissions by running:
sudo chown -R `id -un` /data/db
once you finish and start mongoDB you can use the following in terminal:
sudo mongod --dbpath /System/Volumes/Data/data/db
To change default db folder C:\data\db in windows, the command is:
--dbpath
For example:
\mongod --dbpath C:\myfolder
Mac Users
Instead of running MongoDB with:
sudo mongod
You can use mongod instead if you:
Locate the data folder of mongodb (usually ~/data)
Add permission to read + write with sudo chmod -R ugo+rw data
If you need to use sudo when running mongodb (sudo mongod), that means you don't have read and write permission on the mongodb data folder
Please take following steps:
As other friends mentioned, you should make a directory first for your database data to be stored. This folder could be something like:
C:\mongo-data
From command line navigate to where you have installed mongodb and where mongod.exe resides. In my case the full path is:
C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.4\bin
From here run mongod.exe and pass it the path to the folder you created in step one using the flag --dbpath as follows:
mongod.exe --dbpath "C:\mongo-data"
Please Note: If you are on windows it is necessary to use double-quotes ("") in the above to run properly.
In this way you will get something like the following:
2017-06-14T12:45:59.892+0430 I NETWORK [thread1] waiting for connections on port 27017
If you use single quotes (' ') on windows, you will get:
2017-06-14T01:13:45.965-0700 I CONTROL [initandlisten] shutting down with code:100
Hope it helps to resolve the issue.
To run Mongo DB demon with mongod command, you should have a database directory, probably you need to run:
mkdir C:\data\db
Also, MongoDB need to have a write permissions for that directory or it should be run with superuser permissions, like sudo mongod.
I kept getting the following error when I tried to start mongodb (on mac os).
"shutting down with code:100"
I was using the following command:
./mongod --dbpath=~/mongo-data
The fix for me was that I didn't need the "=" sign and this was causing the error. So I did
./mongod --dbpath ~/mongo-data
Just wanted to throw this out there because the error in no way specifies that this is the problem. I almost removed the contents of the ~/mongo-data directory to see if that helped. Glad I remembered that cli args sometimes do not use the "=" sign.
first you have to create data directory where MongoDB stores data. MongoDB’s default data directory path is the absolute path \data\db on the drive from which you start MongoDB.
if you have install in C:/ drive then you have to create data\db directory. for doing this
run command in cmd
C:\>mkdir data\db
To start MongoDB, run mongod.exe.
"C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.2\bin\mongod.exe" --dbpath="c:\data\db"
The --dbpath option points to your database directory.
Connect to MongoDB.
"C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.2\bin\mongo.exe"
to check all work good :
show dbs
1.If it shows error (shutting down
with code 100) that means it is not finding the desired
location of file.
1.a If its before macOS Catalina then create directory with
sudo mkdir -p /data/db and give permissions to use it
sudo chown -R id -un /data/db.
1.b if it macOS Catalina onwards then make
sudo mkdir -p /System/Volumes/data/db and give it
permissions
sudo chown -R id -un /System/Volumes/data/db.
2.Starting mongo db brew services run mongodb-community
3.Type mongod or mongod --dbpath /System/Volumes/Data/data/db
4.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
4.a Either you change the port of mongod by specifying port
number
mongod --dbpath /System/Volumes/Data/data/db —port 27018.
4.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
5.Repeat the step 2 and 3.
In MacOS:-
If you forgot to give the path of the previously created database while running the mongo server, the above error will appear.
sudo ./mongod --dbpath ../../mongo-data/
Reference
Note :- ./mongod && ../../mongo-data is relative path.
So you can avoid it by configuration in environment variable
Reference
For windows i've got same issue.
The fix was - i need to run command line as administrator.
if you already have the directory, check the dir permissions or try to restart mongo with sudo.
sudo brew services start mongodb
In my case, I got a similar error and it was happening because I had run mongod with the root user and that had created a log file only accessible by the root. I could fix this by changing the ownership from root to the user you normally run mongod from. The log file was in /var/lib/mongodb/journal/
I you are using Virtualbox check your VM.
docker-machine ssh
df -h
Look at dev/sda1 if you do not have any free space this may be due to a large number of images, or containers. you can remove them using "docker rm" and "docker rmi"
This exit code will also be given if you are changing MongoDB versions and the data directory is incompatible, such as with a downgrade. Move the old directory elsewhere, and create a new directory (as per the instructions given in other answers).
Aravind.
It happened with me too because I stopped the MongoDB by the Task Manager.
Creating the C:\data\db folder and starting the MongoDB at C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.4\bin\mongod.exe worked for me, as cespon suggested, but the MongoDB didn't show any of my Databases previously created.
Then, removing the C:\data\db folder and repairing the installation with the MongoDB installer, I recovered my data and started normally the MongoDB.
(I'm very new with MongoDB, but it helped me solve this problem and recover may previews data).
typed mongod and getting error
Errors:
exception in initAndListen: NonExistentPath: Data directory /data/db not found.,
terminating
shuts down with Code 100
Then try with (create data and db folder with all permission)
mongod --dbpath=/data
use new tab and type mongo.
>use dbs
If still you are facing prob
then you can check for mac catalina: (https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-os-x-tarball/)
for windows: https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-windows-unattended/
I have a MEAN droplet on digital ocean and I've found that when I run the mongo command I connect to test successfully and have access to my other databases, but if I try to run the mongod command I get the following message:
*********************************************************************
ERROR: dbpath (/data/db) does not exist.
Create this directory or give existing directory in --dbpath.
See http://dochub.mongodb.org/core/startingandstoppingmongo
*********************************************************************
How is this possible? I thought mongo was connecting to a specific instance of mongod.
I will create the /data/db folder, but I feel like I might just be ignoring another problem with setup configuration that has allowed this to happen.
/data/db will be the place you store your database data. After you created that folder, you can run mongod as normal.
The mongod is a command to start mongodb server. And mongo is a command line interface to make you community with mongodb server.
So you should start the server -> community with server.
I'm getting the following error when I try to run "mongod" in the terminal. I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling, and restarting the machine. Any suggestions on how to get it working would be amazing.
ERROR:
dbpath (/data/db) does not exist.
Create this directory or give existing directory in --dbpath.
See http://dochub.mongodb.org/core/startingandstoppingmongo
Side note:
Node also stopped working on my machine around the same time that I got this error.
events.js:72
throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
^
Error: failed to connect to [localhost:27017]
Any help would be much appreciated!
This should work to ensure that the directory is set up in the right place so that Mongo can find it:
sudo mkdir -p /data/db/
sudo chown `id -u` /data/db
You need to create the directory on root /data/db or set any other path with the following command :
mongod --dbpath /srv/mongodb/
See the example link
I solved the problem with :
sudo mongod --dbpath=/var/lib/mongodb and then mongo to access the mongodb Shell.
Change the user of the new data directory:
chown mongodb [rute_directory]
And try another time to start the mongo service
service mongod start
I solve the same problem with this.
Daemons (usually ending with d) are normally started as services. Starting the service (daemon) will allow mongodb to work as designed (without permission changes if integrates well with your distro). I start it using the service named mongodb instead of starting mongod directly--on distro with systemd enable on startup then run like:
sudo systemctl enable mongodb
sudo systemctl start mongodb
or, on distro with upstart (if you have /etc/init) or init (if you have /etc/init.d) ( https://www.tecmint.com/systemd-replaces-init-in-linux/ ) instead run:
sudo service mongodb enable
sudo service mongodb start
If you have a distro with rc ("run commands") such as Gentoo (settings in /etc/init.d) (https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-854138-start-0.html) run:
rc-update add mongodb default
/etc/init.d/mongodb start
In a distro/version of FreeBSD which still has rc (check whether your version switched to systemd, otherwise see below):
add the following line to /etc/rc.conf:
mongod_enable="YES"
then:
sudo service mongod start
After starting the service, an unpriveleged user can use mongo, and each user will have separate data.
I also got the error that "The file /data/db doesn't exist" when I tried to save my file using the "mkdir -p /data/db" command(using both with and without sudo command). But later on one site, a person named Emil answered that the path "/data/db" no longer works on Mac, so use "~/data/db" instead
i.e., use the command
mkdir -p ~/data/db
instead of previous command.
Moreover, use
mongod --dbpath ~/data/db
to run mongod
It worked for me, hope it work for others too facing the same problem
