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

I am trying to connect to my MongoDB database in localhost. While I type mongo in command shell I am getting an error in the command shell:
js] 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 :: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. :
connect#src/mongo/shell/mongo.js:341:17
This will start the mongo server as a service:
brew services start mongodb-community
command mongod will run the MongoDB server using the default configuration. You can change these configurations by locating the default path of the configuration files.
The primary daemon process for the MongoDB database system is called mongod. You need to start this service before making connection attempts.
You can do this in Ubuntu by:
sudo service mongod start
or,
sudo systemctl start mongod
Start mongod on system boot by:
systemctl enable mongodb.service
I had the same issue.
When running mongod command, it mentioned the C:/data/db as E:/data/db path.
After I created the folder in mentioned E:/data/db path it works!
For windows user
1. Type ctrl + r
2. Scroll to mongodb server
3. start the server
do you have a linux distro? If you do, the solution is a bit annoying as you have to do it everytime you start your pc. The solution is:
Type "mongo" and "mongod" once in the terminal. It will show an error, don't worry, that's the whole point
type this:
chown -R mongodb:mongodb /var/lib/mongodb
chown mongodb:mongodb /tmp/mongodb-27017.sock
sudo service mongod restart
tip: copy the whole thing and paste on the terminal using ctrl+shift+v. You're welcome :-)
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'm starting MongoDB using the following command:
sumeet#sumeet-acer:~$ sudo service mongod start
I get a reply as:
mongod start/running, process 7209
sumeet#sumeet-acer:~$
But when I try to enter MongoDB shell by typing mongo I get the following error:
sumeet#sumeet-acer:~$ mongo
MongoDB shell version: 2.0.4

By default, mongod and mongos use the 27017 port. Without any option, the client will try to connect to a server running on localhost and listening at that port.
A few general advices here:
check if the mongod server is really running (ps -edf | grep mongod);
check if it uses the default port (look in the config file1, or use nmap localhost -p0-65535 or netstat | grep 27017);
if mongod is not running, check in the log2 for clues about what goes wrong.
1 /etc/mongodb.conf (on Debian-like systems at least)
2 /var/log/mongodb (on Debian-like systems at least)
The default IP and Port for MongoDB is 127.0.0.1 & 27017.
If you are using config file for specifying settings than re-verify IP & Port mentioned in it.
If you are going with default option than mongod should function as expected.
try mongo 127.0.0.1:27017
this worked for me
For MongoDB 2.2.2 running on Ubuntu 12.10, it's in /var/lib/mongodb/mongod.lock
and after that running the repair command
sudo -u mongodb mongod --repair --dbpath /var/lib/mongodb/
courtesy: https://stackoverflow.com/a/13700262/4907105
I first execute the command:
sudo service mongodb restart
I get the prompt:
stop: Unknown instance:
mongodb start/running, process 3175
Then,I execute the command:
mongo
I get the error:
MongoDB shell version: 2.4.6
connecting to: test
Tue Oct 8 19:48:08.961 Error: couldn't connect to server 127.0.0.1:27017 at src/mongo/shell/mongo.js:145
exception: connect failed
I don't know how I get this error.
Execute the following command
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/mongodb/mongod.lock
then
sudo service mongodb restart
Just Execute these following lines:
sudo rm /var/lib/mongodb/mongod.lock
mongod --repair
sudo start mongodb
sudo status mongodb
mongo
Now you can access to your mongo terminal.
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.
