Couldn't connect to server mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017

994 Asked by GillianHamer in Data Science , Asked on Jul 12, 2021

I'm getting the following error:

alex@alex-K43U:/$ mongo 
MongoDB shell version: 2.2.0 
connecting to: test 
Thu Oct 11 11:46:53 Error: couldn't connect to server 127.0.0.1:27017 src/mongo/shell/mongo.js:91 
exception: connect failed 
alex@alex-K43U:/$

This is what happens when I try to start MongoDB:

* Starting database mongodb [fail]

I already tried mongo --repair

I made chown and chmod to var, lib, and data/db and log MongoDB.

Not sure what else to do. Any suggestions?

To connect to the server //127.0.0.1:27017, you must run the commands below in order to get up the mongodb process:

sudo service MongoDB stop 

sudo rm /var/lib/mongodb/mongod.lock 

sudo mongod --repair --dbpath /var/lib/mongodb 

sudo mongod --fork --logpath /var/lib/mongodb/mongodb.log --dbpath /var/lib/mongodb 

sudo service mongodb start
