I just installed mongoDB on my ubuntu 14.0.4 operating system. I tried to start the shell but I'm getting a connection refused error. Please refer the following code:
me@medev:/etc/init.d$ mongo
MongoDB shell version: 2.6.5
connecting to: test
2014-11-10T15:06:28.084-0500 warning: Failed to connect to 127.0.0.1:27017, reason: errno:111 Connection refused
2014-11-10T15:06:28.085-0500 Error: couldn't connect to server 127.0.0.1:27017 (127.0.0.1), connection attempt failed at src/mongo/shell/mongo.js:146
exception: connect failed
So I restart the service but that's failing too. I get the following error message:
me@medev:/etc/init.d$ sudo service mongodb restart
mongodb: unrecognized service
me@medev:/etc/init.d$
This is what I have in my /var/log/mongodb/mongod.log - http://pastebin.com/MrHt8tce
I have also deleted the lock file and then re-run the command but it still fails as you can see below:
me@medev:/var/lib/mongodb$ sudo rm mongod.lock
me@medev:/var/lib/mongodb$ ls
journal local.0 local.ns _tmp
me@medev:/var/lib/mongodb$ sudo service mongodb start
mongodb: unrecognized service
But I can start it using /etc/init.d as you can see below:
me@medev:/var/lib/mongodb$ sudo /etc/init.d/mongod start
Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8)
utility, e.g. service mongod start
Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an
Upstart job, you may also use the start(8) utility, e.g. start mongod
mongod start/running, process 27469
me@medev:/var/lib/mongodb$ ls
journal local.0 local.ns mongod.lock
me@medev:/var/lib/mongodb$ mongo
MongoDB shell version: 2.6.5
connecting to: test
> db
test
>
Any ideas on why I can't start it using the service command would be appreciated. From what I've read, i should be using sudo service mongodb
