Check the /tmp/mongodb-27017.sock
permission, owner is root?
Terminal
$ ls -ls /tmp/mongodb-27017.sock
0 srwx------ 1 root root 0 Aug 24 03:56 /tmp/mongodb-27017.sock
P.S Debian 7 and MongoDB 2.6 –> upgraded to –> 3.2.16
Solution
To fix it, delete the /tmp/mongodb-27017.sock
file manually and start the mongod
process. Check the /tmp/mongodb-27017.sock
permission again, the ownership is changed to the ‘mongodb’ user.
$ sudo rm -rf /tmp/mongodb-27017.sock
$ sudo service mongod start
[ok]
$ ls -lsah /tmp/mongodb-27017.sock
0 srwx------ 1 mongodb mongodb 0 Aug 24 04:01 /tmp/mongodb-27017.sock
Common error
While
While
sudo apt-get upgrade
, Debian helps to upgrade the MongoDB automatically, and changed the mongodb-27017.sock
ownership to root, and normally we start the ‘mongod’ process with user ‘mongodb’, and caused this “Operation not permitted”.
