  • Hmm... so, /data/db is owned by useer mongodb - seems right. But inside it, /data/db/journal is owned by root. Feels wrong to me. – Volker Siegel Oct 02 '14 at 09:02
  • how to change it??it's not allowing to change me the permissions from terminal or without command – Sanket Shirode Oct 02 '14 at 09:05
  • Yeah... the sudo: unable to resolve host sanket-PC error message is pretty spooky. That seems to be a separate problem. (but both could have the same cause) I added a little to the answer. – Volker Siegel Oct 02 '14 at 09:08
  • Something about the sudo: unable to resolve host issue - Related: http://askubuntu.com/questions/59458/error-message-when-i-run-sudo-unable-to-resolve-host-none – Volker Siegel Oct 02 '14 at 09:11
  • Looks like you need to fix that sudo thing first - read the link above, it has a good answer. – Volker Siegel Oct 02 '14 at 09:17
  • You replaced the whole question - it's not easy to see what changed. Did you get the sudo issue fixed? The new text looks unclear to me. I could edit in the old text again, if you tell what was the step before posting the new version. It's important to have the whole question together even if it's no longer useful for you, because we intend to collect helpfil questions, and good answers. – Volker Siegel Oct 07 '14 at 23:36

Try this :

ps wuax | grep mongo

You should see something that looks like this 

Savio           10592   0.5 0.4 2719784 35624   ?? S     7:34pm   0:09.98 mongod 
Savio           10911   0.0 0.0 2423368   184 s000 R+   8:24pm   0:00.00 grep mongo

or find word mongod.

and then

sudo kill 10592

after that start mongod again. for me its work, for error addr alredy use.

The server seems to be started as the wrong user, and can not access it's data files.

How did you start it?
Did you run it from the shell as your own user, or as a service?

Take a look at the owner of the data directories - that's the user it needs to run as.

The command 

ls -ld /data /data/db /data/db/journal

would show the user (using three directories because I do not know which will be readable.)

Hmm... so, /data/db is owned by useer mongodb - seems right.
But inside it, /data/db/journal is owned by root. Feels wrong to me.

Try a sudo chown -R mongodb:mongodb /data/db/journal, then /data/db/journal with all files in it is owned by the mongodb user.

But there is a independent problem involved, that you need to fix before:
sudo does not work and shows the error sudo: unable to resolve host sanket-PC, which means you have currently no root access. See Error message when I run sudo: unable to resolve host (none).

You made an edit replacing the whole question text - without saying what changed, so the question makes sense.

Looking at the log, there is an interesting error:
The database tries to start, and finds that the network port it hast to use to lissten for client connections is already in use:

Sun Oct  5 09:58:49.237 [initandlisten] ERROR: listen(): bind() failed errno:98 Address already in use for socket: 0.0.0.0:27017
Sun Oct  5 09:58:49.237 [websvr] ERROR: listen(): bind() failed errno:98 Address already in use for socket: 0.0.0.0:28017
Sun Oct  5 09:58:49.237 [initandlisten] ERROR:   addr already in use
Sun Oct  5 09:58:49.237 [websvr] ERROR:   addr already in use

The port is choosen such that there normally is nobody using it for anything else; That means it's most probably mongod that is using the port - meaning there is an instance already running.
Try pgrep -fa mongod to show running mongod processes.

(Independant of this, it's unclear whether the original issue is fixed. It could not cause the original error here because there were no journal files.)

  • You can edit your question and apend it; Comments may get lost (and hard to read, in this case) – Volker Siegel Oct 02 '14 at 08:53
  • owner is root for most of the directories.How to change it .I am the administrator.the sudo mongod is also not working – Sanket Shirode Oct 02 '14 at 09:00
