Mongodb shell mongo: Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted. for socket: 0.0.0.0:27017

Question

It was fine 2 days ago, Now mongod does not work. Even echo ps -A | grep mongo printed nothing, yet it warns about error: "Only one usage of each socket address". How to kill that? I have also tried with different random port. How can they fail as well?

In the command prompt type the following command

netstat -a -n -o | find "27017"

This will list all processes which are using port "27017" along with the PID.

Locate the PID using "27017". For example if the PID is 10580, to kill it

taskkill /f /pid 10580

Now start mongo. Hope this helps.
