无法将日志发送到 /var/mongodb/logs/mongod.log 文件并且无法将 mongod 分叉并作为守护进程运行，我无法添加用户

Question

Error when doing this I am taking course in MongoDB university, They're having a lab section that we need to solve. I am stuck with Chapter 1: The Mongod Lab: Logging to a Different Facility.

I tried using these commands "mongod --logpath /var/mongodb/logs/mongod.log" and "mongod --config mongod.conf" after running these couldnt add the user to validate the question

Can anyone help me detail procedure of the question?

1. mongod sends logs to /var/mongodb/logs/mongod.log
2. mongod is forked and run as a daemon (this will not work without specifying logpath)

Answer 1

I think you may use only the configuration file to achieve whatever you need, you can configure a mongo instance to use a certain log file and to fork properly mongodb. As you can see in thismongodb documentation section . You can edit your configuration file like this:

systemLog:
   destination: file
   path: "/var/mongodb/logs/mongod.log "
   logAppend: true
processManagement:
   fork: true

And then execute mongodb using this command: mongod --config mongod.conf
