I already change the owner of the directory I want to use

root@ip-10-138-30-205:/media/newdrive# ls -l

drwx------ 2 root    root 16384 Aug 30 09:56 lost+found
root@ip-10-138-30-205:/media/newdrive#

I already restart mongodb

root@ip-10-138-30-205:/media/newdrive# service mongodb restart
mongodb stop/waiting
mongodb start/running, process 17140
root@ip-10-138-30-205:/media/newdrive#

my mongodb.conf has already been changed

# Note: if you run mongodb as a non-root user (recommended) you may
# need to create and set permissions for this directory manually,
# e.g., if the parent directory isn't mutable by the mongodb user.

# nojournal = true

# Enables periodic logging of CPU utilization and I/O wait

What else should I have done? I am using amazon ec2

Update: I already know what the problem is but here is the log anyway per comments. Thanks for the answer.

    Please post the output of the mongod logs rather than the client error - that's what will tell you why it is failing to start. Based on your pasted config that would be: /var/log/mongodb/mongodb.log

  • I want to provide the log but I already found out what the problem is.

While I wait for your logs (see comments), there are two common causes for this:

Bad permissions on the log file, or other bad permissions in the data path. Make sure you chown/chmod everything under the /media/newdrive/data folder. Something similar to this:

sudo chown -R mongodb:mongodb /media/newdrive/data

Then make sure your other mongod instance is not running, which would mean it is currently holding the port open, or similar.

I noticed that if I wait for a few seconds then it works :)

Oh well, it's actually the answer but for the question Bryce answer is also valid.

So even after mongodb start/running, process 17140

it's not fully running yet

I must wait for a few second till it's properly initialized.

Also it's the EXACT same error if the problem is different. For example, what Bryce say is also correct. It can indeed be caused by ownership conflict.

In BOTH issue, the error message is EXACTLY the same.

I think I need to file a bug report here. It's kind of tricky to fix issue if the answer is exactly the same.

    The "error" is going to be the same on the client side because you would get that error if the server wasn't running at all, or if you put in the wrong port etc. - it just means the port is not yet open, that's all the client knows - any actually meaningful error will be in the server logs. You can try to file an issue for it, but the likely response will be that you are looking in the wrong place for the error in the first place
