Issues
MongoDB fails to start
When running the command sudo systemctl status mongod the MongoDB server will fail to start with the message (code=exited, status=62)
Solution Attempt to repair the MongoDB installation by running the command
sudo mongod --repair
If this command fails and it shows the error Data directory /data/db not found create the directory using this command:
sudo mkdir -p /data/db
Then restart mongodb:
sudo systemctl stop mongod sudo systemctl start mongod sudo systemctl status mongod
