MongoDB couldn't start because have error

Question

I recently installed mongodb on my vps, but it returned an error for me:

Jan 31 01:35:47 servidor-1 mongod[6960]: Error reading config file: No such file or directory Jan 31 01:35:47 servidor-1 mongod[6960]: try '/usr/bin/mongod --help' for more information

service mongodb status

I'm using Ubuntu 18.04

Answer 1

Please do check or create this file.

/etc/systemd/system/mongodb.service

It specifies the location of the configuration file. It should either be /etc/mongodb.conf or /etc/mongod.conf depending on your machine.

#Unit contains the dependencies to be satisfied before the service is started.
[Unit]
Description=MongoDB Database
After=network.target
Documentation=https://docs.mongodb.org/manual
# Service tells systemd, how the service should be started.
# Key `User` specifies that the server will run under the mongodb user and
# `ExecStart` defines the startup command for MongoDB server.
[Service]
User=mongodb
Group=mongodb
ExecStart=/usr/bin/mongod --quiet --config /etc/mongodb.conf
# Install tells systemd when the service should be automatically started.
# `multi-user.target` means the server will be automatically started during boot.
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

After this run basic commands to check.

sudo systemctl enable mongodb.service
sudo systemctl start mongodb
sudo systemctl stop mongodb
sudo systemctl status mongodb
sudo systemctl restart mongodb
