Answer 1

I faced the same problem, so please check is there mongodb folder, firstly try to remove that folder

rm -rf /var/lib/mongodb/*

Now try to start mongo and if same problem then its mongodb lock file which prevent to start mongo, so please delete the mongo lock file

rm /var/lib/mongodb/mongod.lock

For forcefully rm -rf /var/lib/mongodb/mongod.lock

service mongodb restart if already in sudo mode otherwise you need to use like sudo service mongod start

or you can start the server using fork method

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

and for watching the same is it forked please check using the below command

ps aux | grep mongo
