Hello @Mor_Ka, welcome to the MongoDB Community forum!

You need to start the MongoDB server before you can connect and insert/query data. Have you started the mongod?

unfortunately your link

Troubleshooting MongoDB Ubuntu Installation.

i appreciate if you send link for me .Thanks

Here is the corrected link:

The link is with the MongoDB Manual. And, you will also find proper instructions to start the mongod.

The output you are seeing is the server log; you can direct the log info to a log-file and also specify a folder where database data can be stored. These are specified as options while starting the mongod.

What is the version of Ubuntu Linux you are working with?

Hello @Mor_Ka, I see from the logs that you are trying to install MongoDB on the Linux Mint: {“os”:{“name”:“LinuxMint”,“version”:“20”}}.

Also, there is an error in the log:
{“t”:{"$date":“2021-10-15T12:33:23.353+03:30”},“s”:“E”, “c”:“NETWORK”, “id”:23024, “ctx”:“initandlisten”,“msg”:“Failed to unlink socket file”,“attr”:{“path”:"/tmp/mongodb-27017.sock",“error”:“Operation not permitted”}}

There are some suggested solutions when you search online (Google search for mongodb install “path”:"/tmp/mongodb-27017.sock",“error”:“Operation not permitted”). You can try and see if it helps.

Also see this post with similar error in the server log:

@Mor_Ka,

If the service is already started, you can try to connect form mongo shell.
If you are not able to connect and there are errors, try stopping the service and restart the server / service and try to connect.

And, check the server logs if there are any errors.
