The MongoDB service terminated with service-specific error Cannot create another system semaphore

Question

I am using MongoDB version 3.0. I have installed mongodb as windows service which was working all this while. Now suddenly, the service does not start & the event logs shows this error The MongoDB service terminated with service-specific error Cannot create another system semaphore.

I am not sure how can I handle this error message.

I am not sure if its helpful but some of other services on my windows 2008 server also stopped to start on their own.

One of the windows service gives Not enough storage is available to proceess this request error.

Answer 1

First find your mongod.cfg file (for me in C:\Program Files\MongoDB 2.6 Standard)

#where to log
logpath=D:\MongoDatas\log\mongod.log

Then have a look at the last lines of you log file.
