Answer 1

You should specify OS Name, OS version, MongoDB version so that we can easy help you. I hope you are using Amazon Linux so you need to use systemctl start/stop mongodb , following command to enable and start

sudo su
chkconfig mongod on
sudo service mongod start

and to stop

sudo service mongod stop

Please have a look MongoDB Amazon Linux Doc
