I'm getting the following error when I try to run "mongod" in the terminal. I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling, and restarting the machine. Any suggestions on how to get it working would be amazing.
ERROR:
dbpath (/data/db) does not exist. Create this directory or give existing directory in --dbpath. See http://dochub.mongodb.org/core/startingandstoppingmongo
Side note: Node also stopped working on my machine around the same time that I got this error.
events.js:72 throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event ^ Error: failed to connect to [localhost:27017]
Any help would be much appreciated!
This should work to ensure that the directory is set up in the right place so that Mongo can find it:
sudo mkdir -p /data/db/
sudo chown `id -u` /data/db
You need to create the directory on root /data/db or set any other path with the following command :
mongod --dbpath /srv/mongodb/
