Try either killall -15 mongod  killall mongod Even after this if this doesnt work then remove the db storage folder by typing the following commands sudo rm -rf  data db sudo mkdir  data db sudo chmod 777  data db

It looks like the same error is showed in logs when you re missing LC ALL environment setting  It s confusing  but you may execute mongo client to see that it s a problem

Use   sudo killall mongod   It will stop the server    Then restart mongod by   sudo service mongod restart   it should work

Find out from netstat which process is running mongodb port  27017   command   sudo netstat -tulpn   grep  27017   Output will be   tcp        0      0 0 0 0 0 27017           0 0 0 0    LISTEN      6432 mongod   In my case   6432  is the pid  it may be different in your case  Then kill that process using following command   sudo kill  lt pid gt    Thats it

if you are running mongo for first time you might wanna set the path first  mongod --dbpath  lt path to the directory gt

Check for logs at  var log mongodb mongod log and try to deduce the error  In my case it was   Failed to unlink socket file  tmp mongodb-27017 sock errno 1 Operation not permitted  Deleted  tmp mongodb-27017 sock and it worked

I ve faced the same issue  Though the mongodb service is not running  the log showed address already in use message     netstat -tulpn   grep  27017    returns nothing  On further analysis found that the issue was due to lock file  The service is running fine  after deleting the lock file and restarting it    grep  dbpath   etc mongodb conf  dbpath   var lib mongodb   ls  var lib mongodb mongod lock   service mongod start

User · Answer

Don t kill the process using the -9 signal as it would cause damage  http   www mongodb org display DOCS Starting and Stopping Mongo StartingandStoppingMongo-SendingaUnixINTorTERMsignal  Use sudo killall -15 mongod instead

I suggest use instead     sudo service mongodb stop  That could work

MongoDB unable to start is mainly due to unclean shutdown  To remedy  delete the mongod lock file   This file is located in the data folder     Find out where your data folder is by looking in the mongodb conf or mongod conf file   Conf file under  etc on Linux systems      Where and how to store data  storage    dbPath   var lib mongodb   For example using the above configuration  the file is at  var lib mongodb mongod lock   Simply remove it and restart mongodb

Open the terminal and type    mkdir -p  data db   Then enter   mongod

To resolve the issue in Windows  the below steps work for me   For example mongoDB version 3 6 is installed  and the install path of MongoDB is  D  Program Files MongoDB    Create folder D  mongodb logs  then create file mongodb log inside this folder   Run cmd exe as administrator   D  Program Files MongoDB Server 3 6 bin gt taskkill  F  IM mongod exe D  Program Files MongoDB Server 3 6 bin gt mongod exe --logpath D  mongodb logs mongodb log --logappend --dbpath D  mongodb data --directoryperdb --serviceName MongoDB --remove D  Program Files MongoDB Server 3 6 bin gt mongod --logpath  D  mongodb logs mongodb log  --logappend --dbpath  D  mongodb data  --directoryperdb --serviceName  MongoDB  --serviceDisplayName  MongoDB  --install   Remove these two files mongod lock and storage bson under the folder  D  mongodb data    Then type net start MongoDB in the cmd using administrator privilege  the issue will be solved

If your re using linux   if   mongod --shutdown --config path to your configFile conf    or   mongod --repair --config path to your configFile conf    didn t fix the issue  logout and re-login  That solved my problem    Or you can kill the process manually from terminal  I guess

Try a different port if you can t find any current running processes or killing them doesn t work  For example  try 27018 because the default is 27017   mongod  --port 27018   I found this out with the command  mongod --help

try    usr lib mongodb mongod exe --dbpath c data db  --dbpath  should be followed by the path of your db
