Question

I am trying to run mongo process instance with this command :

mongod --replSet m101 --logpath "1.log" --dbpath /data/rs1 --port 27017 --smallfiles --oplogSize 64 --fork

But i am getting the following error :

about to fork child process, waiting until server is ready for connections.
forked process: 5088
ERROR: child process failed, exited with error number 100

check inside 1.log and see what exactly is the cause of error — Sarath Nair, Nov 24 '15 at 11:59
Does your `mongod` have permissions to write the data directory? — code-kobold, Nov 24 '15 at 12:05
Yes that was the issue i had to change the owner of the data directory with chown. Thanks — Rahul Babu, Nov 24 '15 at 13:06

just check whether any other mongod process is running in the os level use $ ps -ef | grep mongod and get the pid number of the running mongod process use $ kill and execute the mongod config file freshly
