MongoDB: ERROR: child process failed, exited with error number 14

Question

I run MongoDB on Mac:

Shave:mongodb_simple Logan$ ./bin/mongod -f conf/mongod.conf
about to fork child process, waiting until server is ready for connections         


        

Answer 1

This worked for me:

run in terminal

sudo rm -rf mongod.lock
export LC_ALL=C

then

sudo mongod --fork --config /xxxx/xx/mongod.conf --logpath /xxx/log/mongodb/mongodb.log
