Error in mongo start

Question

i am using mongo 3.0.2 version suddenly, i have got a problem in mongodb. Till yesterday mongodb is running fine. but today when i start mongo then it gives the following error.

2015-04-29T10:57:47.732+0530 W NETWORK  Failed to connect to  127.0.0.1:27017, reason: errno:111 Connection refused
2015-04-29T10:57:47.733+0530 E QUERY    Error: couldn't connect to server 127.0.0.1:27017 (127.0.0.1), connection attempt failed
at connect (src/mongo/shell/mongo.js:179:14)
at (connect):1:6 at src/mongo/shell/mongo.js:179
exception: connect failed

i have checked on internet. deleted the mongo lock file. but didn't resolve the problem yet.

when i check the service is show waiting and after start it doen't start as

 service mongod status
 mongod stop/waiting
 sudo service mongod start
 mongod start/running, process 2520
 service mongod status
 mongod stop/waiting

and anyone help to solve it out and explain why this problem occur.

do: echo $PATH in terminal, see if your path has mongodb's bin folder. — Gaurav Dave, Apr 29 '15 at 05:58

I had the same issue and I managed to start mongod following those steps

1) mkdir data

2) cd data

3) mongod -dbpath .

i've just faced the same error, and `mongod -dbpath .` solved my problem. – MrHanachoo Jan 21 '16 at 16:12

Use this command, it works fine:

sudo mongod --config /etc/mongod.conf --fork

Please make sure if port 27017 is already opened and didn't used by any application. You can check it with netstat command

Can you check whether port already used or not? Below attaching link of similar issue: Connection refused to MongoDB errno 111

Still problem persist then let me know.

check in the log file /var/log/mongodb/mongodb.log. I also got the same issue but due to lack of disk space.

exception in initAndListen: 15926 Insufficient free space for journals, terminating
