Question

I am using ubuntu16.04 on VPS. It has been migrated to another company's VPS and is in use.

nginix works fine and my node application works fine.

When the mongodb service is run as systemlctl stat The following error code was shown and it became Active:Failed.

The problem is probably with the account mongo is trying to launch with in your systemd mongod.service file. Check the user and group defined in the [Service] block are valid.
