未能启动 mongo.service: 找不到 unitmongo.service

我遵循 MongoDB 安装 文件 for Ubuntu 16.04中提到的所有步骤。

步骤1: 

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 2930ADAE8CAF5059EE73BB4B58712A2291FA4AD5

步骤2: 

echo "deb [ arch=amd64,arm64 ] https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu xenial/mongodb-org/3.6 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-3.6.list

步骤3: 

sudo apt-get update

步骤4: 

sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org

步骤5: 

sudo service mongod start

当我开始 MongoDB 时，出现了一个错误:

未能启动 mongo.service: 找不到 unitmongo.service。

You are missing a 'b' I think? 

sudo service mongod start

should be

sudo service mongodb start

I think this is the case?

小开

Please follow the below steps, it should work.

1 - Uninstall current installation completely

Source - official instructions

sudo service mongod stop

Remove Packages

sudo apt-get purge mongodb-org*

Remove the folders

sudo rm -r /var/log/mongodb
sudo rm -r /var/lib/mongodb

2 - Reinstall as described on official site, I will just write down the all steps. enter link description here

Import the public key

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 2930ADAE8CAF5059EE73BB4B58712A2291FA4AD5

Create a list file for Ubuntu 16.04

echo "deb [ arch=amd64,arm64 ] https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu xenial/mongodb-org/3.6 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-3.6.list

update the list

sudo apt-get update

Install the latest package

sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org

3 - Now it should work, please try below command

sudo service mongod start

and check the status

mongo

it should appear the mongo shell

小开

Most probably unit mongodb.service is masked. Use following command to unmask it.

sudo systemctl unmask mongod

and re-run

sudo service mongod start

小开

Just try with this command:

$ sudo systemctl enable mongod
小开

Note that if using the Windows Subsystem for Linux, systemd isn't supported and therefore commands like systemctl won't work:

Failed to connect to bus: No such file or directory

See Blockers for systemd? #994 on GitHub, Microsoft/WSL.

The mongo server can still be started manual via mondgod for development of course.

小开

[Solution]

Just type

sudo mongod

It will work.

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

If you are following the official doc and are coming across with the error above that means mongod.service is not enabled yet on you machine (I am talking about Ubuntu 16.04). You need to do that using following command

sudo systemctl enable mongod.service

Now you can start mongodb using the following command

sudo service mongod start
小开 
$service mongodb start
$service mongodb status

the status is active when I started using above command

May be you are using a wrong version of mongodb list file. I faced this problem but it's my mistake when not selecting the right list file for Ubuntu 16.04. The default selected is for Ubuntu 14.04 and it's the reason for my error: "Failed to start mongod.service: Unit mongod.service not found." enter image description here

小开

For Ubuntu 16.04.5, it is noticed that MongoDB installations does not auto enable the mongod.service file after installation in my case after I have installed on several servers, so we need to enable it like below:

Issue below to check whether mongod is enabled

systemctl list-unit-files --type=service

If it shows as "disabled", then you need to enable it.

sudo systemctl enable mongod.service

If we want to see whether mongod.service file exists in case this file is missing, check in

ls /lib/systemd/system

You will see a file

/lib/systemd/system/mongod.service
小开

To solve the problem of not being able to start mongodb on ubuntu 16.04 1) look at mongodb log file enter image description here

2) we find that the error is due to "Failed to unlink socket file /tmp/mongodb-27017"

3) Look at the permission of file /tmp/mongdb-27017.lock and find that the owner is root instead of mongodb

4) Delete the /tmp/mongodb-27017.sock file manually and use the command "sudo chown mongodb:mongodb /tmp/mongodb*"

5) Start the service with systemcl and use netstat to check whther mongdob has been started on port 27017

I just encountered this on my parrot os and this is how I solved it. 

sudo service mongodb start
小开

The following steps helped me solve the problem of not being able to start mongodb on Ubuntu Server 18.04 LTS

Step 1: First, remove MongoDB from previous if installed:

sudo apt remove --autoremove mongodb-org

Step 2: Remove any mongodb repo list files: 

sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb*.list
sudo apt update

Step 3: Import the public key used by the package management system:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 9DA31620334BD75D9DCB49F368818C72E52529D4

Step 4: Create a list file for MongoDB:

echo "deb [ arch=amd64 ] https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu bionic/mongodb-org/4.0 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-4.0.list

Step 5: Reload local package database:

sudo apt-get update

Step 6: Install the MongoDB packages:

sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org

Step 7: Start MongoDB:

sudo service mongod start

Step 8: Begin using MongoDB:

mongo

Hope it helps you.

Just follow the below commands. This has worked for me.

  1. Uninstall your mongo completely from your system:

    sudo service mongod stop
sudo apt-get purge mongodb-org
sudo rm -r /var/log/mongodb
sudo rm -r /var/lib/mongodb

  2. Now reinstall mongodb using following commands:

    sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y mongodb**

    Note: The database server is automatically started after installation.

  3. Next, let's verify that the server is running and works correctly.

    sudo systemctl status mongodb

    You'll see this output:

    mongodb.service - An object/document-oriented database
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/mongodb.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)

In some cases for some security reasons the unit would be marked as masked. This state is much stronger than being disabled in which you cannot even start the service manually.

to check this, run the following command:

    systemctl list-unit-files | grep mongod

if you find out something like this:

    mongod.service                         masked

then you can unmask the unit by:

    sudo systemctl unmask mongod

then you may want to start the service:

    sudo systemctl start mongod

and to enable auto-start during system boot:

    sudo systemctl enable mongod

However if mongodb did not start again or was not masked at all, you have the option to reinstall it this way:

    sudo apt-get --purge mongo*
sudo apt-get install mongodb-org

For those that run into this and end up on this answer, as I did, where they got this error during uninstall orupgrade and Ubuntu keeps failing to uninstall the previous because the service doesn't exist this one line will get you past that and allow the uninstall or upgrade to continue.

sudo touch /lib/systemd/system/mongod.service
小开

You can repair

$ sudo rm /var/lib/mongodb/mongod.lock
$ mongod --repair
$ sudo service mongodb start

For Stop

$ sudo service mongodb stop

For Restart-

$ sudo service mongodb restart

For Status-

$ sudo service mongodb status
小开

Well.... My answer may be considered naive but in fact it has been the only way MongoDB has work in my case, Ubuntu 19.10. I tried to run the commands from the most voted comments and none worked, when running:

mongod --repair

I got this alert:

The first time I used MongoDB that error appeared

With some research I found out that running the DB in another port could be a solution, then:

mongod --port 27018

And it works great for me every time. Long answer but wanted to give context before giving such a simple solution.

(If I'm doing it wrong or doesn't seem logical, plz tell me! Relevant for me)

As per documentation:

Run this command to reload the daemon:

sudo systemctl daemon-reload

After this you need to restart the mongod service:

sudo systemctl start mongod

To verify that MongoDB has started, run:

sudo systemctl status mongod

To ensure that MongoDB will start following a system reboot, run:

sudo systemctl enable mongod
小开

This happened to me while adding users in admin db. 

sudo systemctl daemon-reload

is recommended from the official mongo website, but did not help.

If you get

Job for mongod.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status mongod.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

While executing 

sudo systemctl start mongod

run journalctl -xe and if the issue is 

Failed to start MongoDB Database Server.
-- Subject: Unit mongod.service has failed

Then run sudo mongod --> mongo This will fix the issue and if you want to run with systemctl, then terminate the windows for mongod and mongo and run 

sudo systemctl start mongod

and then mongo

小开

Do not remove your db if you already have some data you found useful. Just run the command below and you're good.

sudo systemctl restart mongodb.service
小开

The second step of mongo installation is

echo "deb [ arch=amd64,arm64 ] https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu bionic/mongodb-org/4.4 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-4.4.list

Instead of this command do it manually

  1. cd /etc/apt/
  2. nano sources.list
  3. Write it deb [ arch=amd64,arm64 ] https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu bionic/mongodb-org/4.4 multiverse

And save the file,

Continue all process as in installation docs

It works for me:

小开

It worked for me on ubuntu 20.04: In my case, mongod.service file was locked so it was giving me the same error. To resolve the issue:- Step 1: Use following command to check if the mongod.service is present there

cd /usr/lib/systemd/system
ls

Step 2: If the file is present there then Run the following command to unlock the file mongod.service

sudo chmod 777 /usr/lib/systemd/system/mongod.service -R

Step 3: Now run the following commands:

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl start mongod
sudo systemctl enable mongod
小开

Try this: sudo systemctl start mongod and to check whether its running use sudo systemctl status mongod

小开

I got the same error too .. my error is unmet dependencies /var/cache/apt/archives/mongodb-org-server_4.4.2_amd64.deb and I ran this:

sudo dpkg -i --force-all /var/cache/apt/archives/mongodb-org-server_4.4.2_amd64.deb

and it worked

For Ubuntu, if you have old mongodb installed (e.g 3.x).

Then you might need to:

  • Remove old mongodb first.
  • Remove old data, WARNING: this may cause data lose.
    e.g sudo rm -r /var/lib/mongodb
  • Remove init script.
    e.g sudo rm /etc/init.d/mongodb
  • Then re-install new mongodb, (e.g 4.x)
    Refer: https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-ubuntu/
  • Then start with sudo service mongod start.
  • Then check status with sudo service mongod status.

Tips:

  • Don't use sudo service mongodb start, there is an extra b, that's for old mongodb, that's why we do sudo rm /etc/init.d/mongodb.
  • Backup your old data before remove it.

Case with me

Worked fine after the install; this problem occurred after I rebooted.

What worked for me is

sudo mkdir /var/lib/mongodb
sudo mkdir /var/log/mongodb
sudo chown -R mongodb:mongodb /var/lib/mongodb
sudo chown -R mongodb:mongodb /var/log/mongodb

After running the above commands open a new terminal and run:

sudo systemctl restart mongod

and run the mongo shell to check:

mongo

Note

If this problem occurs again (as with me every time I reboot), make it as a shell script to be run at startup.

Permanent solution (shell script at startup)

Step 1:

Make a file in the /etc/init.d directory

sudo gedit /etc/init.d/custom-mongo-fix.sh

Step 2:

Put below code in the file you just opened in Step 1

#!/bin/bash


# mongodb fix
sudo mkdir /var/lib/mongodb
sudo mkdir /var/log/mongodb
sudo chown -R mongodb:mongodb /var/lib/mongodb
sudo chown -R mongodb:mongodb /var/log/mongodb

Step 3:

After the next boot you can normally start the mongod server by:

sudo systemctl start mongod

Explanation: mongodb requires the above two folders with owner as mongodb. When we shutdown/reboot, one or both of them gets removed. So, we need to create them and change their ownership.

Edit: I was using Stacer's cleaning tool before every shutdown. This also removes log files and folders. And hence, the error at every startup. Now I unselect the mongodb option and then clean.

Namaste. 🙏

This is because Ubuntu or any other OS, won't work proparly for the system files if you have closed rootlogin. That is right. Even when you enter the root on filesystem. I know it seems not logical but it is all about 1 and 0's here.

Even I have su - or ssh root@934.2349.234243 (random IP, won't expose myself here:))

Still it didn't start!

"Failed to restart mongodb.service: Unit mongodb.service not found."

Then...

You need to activate root login. You can download cyberduck or any file explorer to quickly find the file .

go to: /etc/ssh/

if you couldn't go with a software tool, you can use for the step above: vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config then press ctrl-c write to console for saving it :wq

Change this file called sshd_config: /etc/ssh/sshd_config

Edit to line to yes: PermitRootLogin yes

REBOOT VPS

then write

sudo systemctl restart mongodb

Voila!

if that didn't help either because your VPS initiates services just before on the root, you should reinstall the VPS maybe

小开

Try:

sudo /etc/init.d/mongodb status

or:

sudo /etc/init.d/mongodb start
小开

sudo systemctl unmask mongod

The above command worked for me!

sudo service mongod start

Try starting the service it after unmasking it

sudo systemctl status mongod

Check the status using the above command or simply start the mongodb server using mongo command, I hope it works. Cheers

小开

I have Ubuntu 20.04 And i had the same problem.

Finally found a working answer here

sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq mongo-tools
sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq mongodb-server-core


sudo apt-get purge mongodb mongodb-server mongodb-server-core mongodb-clients
sudo apt-get purge mongodb-org
sudo apt-get autoremove

Then reinstall via the official docs.

Though i'd might share. Enjoy.

None of the 30+ existing answers helped me, because my service file was actually missing, not masked or disabled. Re-installing wasn't creating it either for some reason. Solution:

cd /lib/systemd/system
sudo touch mongodb.service
# Copy and paste text to go into service file from snippet below horizontal rule
sudo nano mongodb.service
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl start mongodb
sudo systemctl status mongodb

[Unit]
Description=An object/document-oriented database
Documentation=man:mongod(1)
After=network.target


[Service]
User=mongodb
Group=mongodb
ExecStart=/usr/bin/mongod --quiet --config /etc/mongod.conf


[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

You should check that /etc/mongod.conf is actually the location of your conf file, it may be /etc/mongodb.conf instead.

As for how your service file may have gone missing in the first place. I managed to break it by uninstalling 3.0.15, trying and failing to install 5.* due to ubuntu 16 not being able to run it since some dependencies clashed, then re-installing 3.0.15 again.

sudo apt-get install -y mongodb

to install simply type: this

I faced a similar situation of "Failed to start mongod.service: Unit mongod.service not found", followed by "exception in initAndList NonExistentPath: Data directory /data/db not found"

My solution was first to set the path to the config file which had the custom database location instead of "data/db":

mongod --config /etc/mongodb.conf

Then I enabled and started the service with

sudo systemctl enable mongodb.service

Please not that even with mongod, I had to add 'b' because of the version am currently using. But the root daemon stays the same
