Hi guys,

Our service contains both mongodb and mongod service. We used to run mongod service (sudo service mongod start) however recently when re run mongod service, we got the error above.

However this problem didn't happen when we run mongodB service .

This is the mongod.conf file. Wonder who can give me some advice? Thanks! 

storage:
  smallFiles: true
  dbPath: /var/lib/mongodb
  journal:
    enabled: true

systemLog:
  destination: file
  logAppend: true
  path: /var/log/mongodb/mongod.log

net:
  port: 27017
  bindIp: [127.0.0.1,X.X.X.X]

replSet=spof
replication:
        replSetName: rs0

It might be due to permission issues with your db directory (dbPath). You can try giving appropriate permission to your directory. Try the following steps:

  1. Give permission to /var/lib/mongodb directory.

    sudo chmod -R 0777 /var/lib/mongodb

  2. Try to start mongod service.

    sudo service mongod start

  3. Check status of mongod service.

    sudo service mongod status
