I recently installed mongodb on a Centos Dedicated Server. When i try to start mongodb as a service it is give me the following error.

Starting mongod: [FAILED]

When i just execute mongod this is what i receive.

  • Removing and installing the latest build solved the problem. Remove the current installation and use yum install -y mongodb-org to install the latest build. – Gaurav Jagtap Oct 27 '14 at 03:27

Appears it is already running:

ERROR: listen(): bind() failed errno:98 Address already in use for socket: 0.0.0.0:27017 2014-10-27T03:54:46.233+0100 [initandlisten] ERROR: addr already in use

Another process is already using that port which is most likely another Mongo instance. Try running

mongo

from your command line prompt to see if you can connect using the MongoDB shell utility. Alternatively try

sudo netstat -tlnp | grep 27017

and see which process is using port 27017. On my system it's mongo:

tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:27017         0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      25480/mongod

  • Actually i just re-installed it again and installed the latest build yum install -y mongodb-org . Seems to have solved the problem. – Gaurav Jagtap Oct 27 '14 at 03:25
