if you upgrade the mongod binaries you can not upgrade directly from 3.4 to 4.2. it is always better to follow official MongoDB documentation, also there was a similar topic - please read:
Assuming upgrade went fine i see issue could be due to permissions
Error 100 means permissions issue on your datafiles
Check ownership of your dbpath/logpath dirs
You should start service with systemctl which calls mongod to start mongodb
I see you are starting mongod as root user?You should not use root user
Use normal user and use sudo when you need root privileges
Your mongod command output asks you to run the command without fork.Did you try this?
Also check mongod.log
It will give more details on why it is failing to start
Try to spin up your own mongod using a different port,dbpath,logpath like below
Hi, I did ran the command but still no success
$ mongod

Check permissions/ownership of this file
ls -lrt /tmp/mongodb-27017.sock
Most likely it is owned by root when you tried to start mongod as root
You may have to remove this file and try again.Before removing make sure no mongod is running on port 27017
Most of the issues are due to permissions
Your second command would have succeeded on port 29000 if you had given a different dirpath which i have mentioned clearly in my reply to use “your home dir” but you have given the same path that was used before.
Was your third command successful?I dont see waiting for connections message.Check mongod.log
You can also check by ps -ef|grep mongod
You should not start mongod as sudo
This will create the files owned by root and when you try to start mongod as normal user it cannot read/write the files as they are owned by root
Show the contents of /var/lib/mongo and /var/log/mongodb/
Best thing is empty these dirs and start fresh
