My server running on Nginx Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. I want to install mongoDB to use it with node.js then I followed this tutorial but when I write the status command I have this.

● mongodb.service - High-performance, schema-free document-oriented database Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/mongodb.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Tue 2016-07-26 20:21:15 CEST; 7s ago Process: 4527 ExecStart=/usr/bin/mongod --quiet --config /etc/mongod.conf (code=exited, status=14) Main PID: 4527 (code=exited, status=14) Jul 26 20:21:15 ns3039456.ip-94-23-252.eu systemd[1]: Started High-performance, schema-free document-oriented d Jul 26 20:21:15 ns3039456.ip-94-23-252.eu systemd[1]: mongodb.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status Jul 26 20:21:15 ns3039456.ip-94-23-252.eu systemd[1]: mongodb.service: Unit entered failed state. Jul 26 20:21:15 ns3039456.ip-94-23-252.eu systemd[1]: mongodb.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

Do you have any solution to fix my problem ? If you have a solution who need to completly remove mongodb it's ok. I have nothing in my database because this is my first installation.

I tried this command to remove mongodb :

sudo apt-get remove mongodb* --purge

But I have this error

E: Unable to locate package mongodb.service E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'mongodb.service' E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'mongodb.service'

But I did like as the tutorial said. I created the mongo.service files inside /etc/systemd/system

Edit :

With the mongod command I have this :

2016-07-26T20:54:46.024+0200 I CONTROL [initandlisten] MongoDB starting : pid=6201 port=27017 dbpath=/data/db 64-bit host=ns3039456.ip-94-23-252.eu 2016-07-26T20:54:46.024+0200 I CONTROL [initandlisten] db version v3.2.8 2016-07-26T20:54:46.024+0200 I CONTROL [initandlisten] git version: ed70e33130c977bda0024c125b56d159573dbaf0 2016-07-26T20:54:46.024+0200 I CONTROL [initandlisten] OpenSSL version: OpenSSL 1.0.2g-fips 1 Mar 2016 2016-07-26T20:54:46.024+0200 I CONTROL [initandlisten] allocator: tcmalloc 2016-07-26T20:54:46.024+0200 I CONTROL [initandlisten] modules: none 2016-07-26T20:54:46.024+0200 I CONTROL [initandlisten] build environment: 2016-07-26T20:54:46.024+0200 I CONTROL [initandlisten] distmod: ubuntu1404 2016-07-26T20:54:46.024+0200 I CONTROL [initandlisten] distarch: x86_64 2016-07-26T20:54:46.024+0200 I CONTROL [initandlisten] target_arch: x86_64 2016-07-26T20:54:46.024+0200 I CONTROL [initandlisten] options: {} 2016-07-26T20:54:46.056+0200 I STORAGE [initandlisten] exception in initAndListen: 29 Data directory /data/db not found., terminating 2016-07-26T20:54:46.056+0200 I CONTROL [initandlisten] dbexit: rc: 100

    The error message was very explicit about what the problem is. Commented Jul 26, 2016 at 18:38

The error is self-explanatory, file /etc/mongodb.conf is missing on your system, so you need to create one. This simple config will allow you to start mongod

systemLog: verbosity: 1 quiet: true traceAllExceptions: false path: "/opt/mongo/log/local.log" logAppend: true destination: file storage: dbPath: "/opt/mongo/db" journal: enabled: true processManagement: fork: true net: port: 27017 security: authorization: disabled

Just set appropriate path for logs/storage and ensure that mongod is able to write there.

  • My bad I was wrong about my command line /usr/bin/mongod --quiet --config /etc/mongodb.conf I tried with mongod.conf and it works. So the main problem is on the first error in my question about Active: failed Commented Jul 26, 2016 at 18:50
  • Active: failed just means that the mongodb process failed to start. Take a look at the mongodb application log. Most likely you need to fix permissions or create dbpath. Commented Jul 26, 2016 at 18:55
