Having MongoDB Startup Errors!

Posted August 13, 2017
MongoDB Ubuntu 16.04

Hey! Greetings!

So recently I was thinking of resetting my nodebb forums when I had an error after deleting the database I couldn’t create a user. So what I thought was to delete MongoDB v3.2 again not 3.4 its 3.2 for my nodebb forums. I deleted the /var/lib/ files the /etc/ and that systemd files! When trying to install I can’t startup mongod and when I do service mongod start it says that not there and when I do service mongod status it shows a error! I think I have messed up something in the mongod.service as I deleted it I readded it to work with systemctl still NP chance! I have also asked a friend to myne to help out if he could I’ll notify as well!

Thanks/ Kind regards, /shar

When I execute service mongod start it shows…

Failed to start mongod.service: Unit mongod.service not found.

But I have mongod.service at `/lib/systemd/system```

Whenever I execute `service mongod status it shows…

Hello,

In addition to what has already been mentioned, as DigitalOcean now offers Managed MongoDB databases as well, I could suggest giving it a try in case that you are looking for a production-ready MongoDB solution:
