Failed to unlink socket file /tmp/mongodb-27017.sock Permission denied

 

my mongodb server had stoped working on  my mac: 

ISSUE:

Failed to unlink socket file /tmp/mongodb-27017.sock Permission denied

 

 check the log file and found the error:

view /usr/local/var/log/mongodb/mongod.log

 

Check the /tmp/mongodb-27017.sock permission, owner is root?

 

ls -ls /tmp/mongodb-27017.sock

output

"0 srwx------ 1 mongodb mongodb 0 Aug 24 04:01 /tmp/mongodb-27017.sock"

 

solution:

 

rm /tmp/mongodb-27017.sock

 

then

 

systemctl start mongod.service

 

 

start mongo, it appears:

 

$ mongo

try to repair, but failed!

 

$ mongod -–repair

try 'mongod --help' for more information

 

check th mongod.conf file (/usr/local/etc/mongod.conf), but it's not in the path.

 

view /etc/mongod.conf

 

ok, reinstall ?

 

$ brew uninstall mongodb-community@4.2

$ brew install mongodb-community@4.2

$ brew services start mongodb-community@4.2 

 

In addition to the binaries, the install creates:

• the configuration file (/usr/local/etc/mongod.conf)
• the log directory path (/usr/local/var/log/mongodb)
• the data directory path (/usr/local/var/mongodb)

run mongodb community :

Enable MongoDB's free cloud-based monitoring service, which will then receive and display

metrics about your deployment (disk utilization, CPU, operation statistics, etc).

The monitoring data will be available on a MongoDB website with a unique URL accessible to you

and anyone you share the URL with. MongoDB may use this information to make product

improvements and to suggest MongoDB products and deployment options to you.


To enable free monitoring, run the following command: db.enableFreeMonitoring()
