Ubuntu – Can’t start MongoDB, mongod is always stop/waiting

14.04mongodbpermissionsservices

I try to run MongoDB 3.2.4 on Ubuntu 14.04:

sudo service mongod start

And get the result:

mongod start/running, process 67725

But when I check the status I get:

mongod stop/waiting

I tried to reinstall MongoDB or to define the permissions for Mongo's folders (lib & log) as root or as mongodb. I also tried to repair the mongod.conf but nothing helps.

The content of log:

Update:

After editing of /etc/mongod.conf:

#security:
authorization: enabled
enableEncryption: true
javascriptEnabled: false

and saving the file, and try to restart the mongod, I get the same error but MongoDB doesn't write any log file. I checked the permissions of /etc/mongod.conf, it is assigned to mongodb group. How can I restart mongod after editing its config file?

My questions:

  1. How can I run MongoDB as a service in Ubuntu?
  2. What I miss or do wrong?

Best Answer

This looks like premissions issue, please do:

sudo chown whoami /tmp/mongodb-27017.sock

This will set premissions straight as You need.
