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

Try:

sudo systemctl enable mongod

Ensure you’ve got the correct config in etc/mongod.conf and then:

sudo service mongod restart
