Can no longer run mongod command to start after typing “sudo pkill -f mongod”

Question

The "mongod" command had been working fine for the past few days until I typed the command "sudo pkill -f mongod" in my terminal. Here is the result after I issue "mongod".

I have found a temporary solution which is by typing "mongod --dbpath /usr/local/var/mongodb". How can I undo this so that I can start the db connection by issuing "mongod"?

edit: included terminal output

Answer 1

If your OS is OS X and mongodb is installed via Homebrew try:

brew services restart mongodb-community 
brew services start mongodb-community

Answer 2

Same Problem I solved Please try

1. Data directory C:\data\db\

2. Run administrator command prompt C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.4\data\

Answer 3

Try Below commands. If still not work, try after restart your pc.

sudo service mongod restart
sudo service mongod stop
sudo service mongod start
