Fail to start mongodb on centos

Question

I'm trying to install mongodb on my centos server. after downloading and unziping the file I used the command rpm -ivh mongodb-org-server-4.0.5-1.el6.x86_64.rpm to install mongodb, then mkdir -p /var/lib/mongo and mkdir -p /var/log/mongodb to create the MongoDB data and log directories. I did chown -R mongod:mongod <directory> to set the owner and group of these directories to mongod. I modified the path : export PATH=<mongodb-install-directory>/bin:$PATH

but when I want to start mongo it fails Starting mongod: [FAILED] it is the stack trace in mongodb log file:

can any one knows why it doesn't start successfully? It doesn't know the use command either when I want to make a database.

Answer 1

Why are you using version mongodb-org-server-4.0.5-1.el6.x86_64?

I recently installed mongodb on a shared centos server from godaddy. I used this version of mongodb:https://fastdl.mongodb.org/linux/mongodb-linux-x86_64-4.0.5.tgz .

Remove all the files and folders from your first attempt, and try the version above. Hope it helps!

Does the file /tmp/mongodb-27017.sock exist? If so try to delete it, ie. 'sudo rm /tmp/mongodb-27017.sock'.
