MongoDb shuts down with Code 100

Question

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

User · Answer

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.

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  amp  amp         mongo-data is relative path  So you can avoid it by configuration in environment variable  Reference

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

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

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

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

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   gt 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

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
