Mongod.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'

[Victor_Adedeji]

i have been using sudo sytemctl start mongod for while without having issues but lately whenever i run the same command to start mongodb and try to check the status i keep getting this failed message.

mongod.service - MongoDB Database Server
     Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/mongod.service; disabled; vendor preset: enabled)

Please share the content of the log file and configuration file.

Also share the output of:

ps -aef | grep [m]ongo
ss -tlnp

If I remember correctly status=48 means you have another process listening at the same address/port.

thanks.

I have been able to fixed the issue.
@steevej
The mongod service process tries to run on the same port and this was as a result of previously running mongod service with root privileged on ubuntu.
i had to kill the process on the port mongod service is listening to without worrying if the service has been started by another user.

sudo fuser -k 27017/tcp

I am sorry but I did missed the post you made 14 days ago.

Thanks for sharing the solution.
