Hi @Koko_Dev and welcome to the MongoDB community forums.

It’s best to open a new thread rather than use one that’s several years old with no answers, even if you’re having the same issue.

Please supply answers to the following so we can better help you:

  • Can you show the error message that you’re getting?
  • What version of MongoDB are you running and on what operating system?
  • How did you install MongoDB and how do you start the process?
  • What are the results of running ls -alh /tmp/mongodb-27017.sock?
