That is because the permission setting on /var/lib/mongodb and /tmp/mongodb-27017.lock are wrong. You will have to change the owner to monogdb user.

chown -R mongodb:mongodb /var/lib/mongodb
chown mongodb:mongodb /tmp/mongodb-27017.sock

Hi @tamburrinipietro89

The error is error command line: unrecognized line in 'storage:'

Can you post your /etc/systemd/system/mongodb.service and /etc/mongod.conf since one of them must have a reference to storage:

mongodb.service

There’s a mongod.log file but it only say things about data received qhen the db was working. Anyway i once runned it with sudo wich isn’t a good practice, can be that i introduced some locks or things like that? I tried to uninstall and make a fresh install but nothin. Is there a way to remove mongodb and everything like it was never installed? Im yelling angains the terminal since a week or two

$ sudo rm -rf /tmp/mongodb-27017.sock
$ sudo service mongod start
[ok]
