I can't start mongoDB with the command "sudo systemctl start mongod".

I'm getting the following message :

● mongod.service - MongoDB Database Server
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/mongod.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)

Feb 19 22:39:00 pop-os systemd[1]: mongod.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

I've already reinstalled mongodb and I having the same problem. I don't know where the error came from if you can help me. Thank you.

Just do those two commands for temporary solution:

$ sudo rm -rf /tmp/mongodb-27017.sock

$ sudo service mongod start

For details:

That shall be fault due to user permissions in .sock file, You may have to change the owner to monogdb user.

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