start-stop-daemon: failed to start `/usr/bin/mongod' - linux

I have an alpine machine on my virtual machine and I want to install mongodb. I added the package for mongodb using "apk add mongodb". I started mongo daemon using command mongod in one terminal. Then opened another terminal with mongo shell using mongo --disableJavaScriptJIT. I tried adding files and reading them from the database and that worked fine. But when I do sudo service mongodb restart I got the following output.
* Caching service dependencies ... [ ok ]
* Starting mongodb ...
* start-stop-daemon: failed to start `/usr/bin/mongod' [ !! ]
* ERROR: mongodb failed to start

The first thing you should do is to read the log file. I think that you’ll read here that mongodb doesn’t have rights to access some files. When you started it manually, you haven’t run it as user mongodb, have you…?
If this hypothesis is right, then the solution is to fix owner (and group) of the /var/lib/mongodb (recursively).

Newbie: Can't connect to database using browser

Recently installed Neo4J on a Raspberry Pi on a docker container (portainer). Everything seems to working fine. I can open a terminal in Portainer and run commands. I can see there are two DB and I can even run Cypher commands (cut and pasted the Movie entries). But I'm not able to run any commands using the browser. I seem to be able to connect the browser (http://localhost:7474/browser/) and see the ":play movie-graph" run. But when I try to run the query to enter movie data, I get the following error: "ERROR: Neo.DatabaseError.General.UnknownError" Running :sysinfo doesn't return any results. Also the cursor is $ as opposed to a DB name. And don't see any databases in the Database menu on the left.
Again, I'm able to run queries using Cypher Shell through a Portainer terminal.
Here are the container details:

I'm sure it is something silly I'm missing, but reading multiple forum comments haven't help. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

When you load the neo4jbrowser from your internet browser at:
http://localhost:7474/browser
, you need to connect to the bolt advertised address of your neo4j server at:
bolt://localhost:7687

Import and add index to mongodb on a Dokku install

I have a recently deployed app on an Ubuntu server using Dokku. This is a Node.js app with a Mongodb database.
For the site to work properly I need to to load geojson file in the database. On my development machine this was done from the ubuntu command line using the mongoimport command. I can't figure out how to do this in Dokku.
I also need to add a geospatial index. This was done from the mongo console on my development machine. I also cant figure out how to do that on the Dokku install.
Thanks a lot #Jonathan. You helped me solve this problem. Here is what I did.
I used mongodump on my local machine to create a backup file of the database. It defaulted to a .bson file.
I uploaded that file to my remote server. On the remote server I put the bson file inside a folder called "dump". Then tarred that folder. I initially used the -z flag out of habit but mongo/dokku didn't like the gzip. So I used tar with no compression like so:
tar -cvf dump.tar dump
next I ran the dokku mongo import command:
$dokku mongo:import mongo_claims < dump.tar

That did the trick. My site immediately had all the data.
mongodump will export all the data + indexes from an existing database.
https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/program/mongodump/
Then mongorestore will restore a mongodump with indexes to an existing database.
https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/program/mongorestore/
mongorestore recreates indexes recorded by mongodump.
You can do both commands from you dev machine to the Dokku database.
Importing works well, but since you mentionned mongo console, it's nice to know that you can also connect to your Mongo instance if you use https://github.com/dokku/dokku-mongo's mongo:list and mongo:connect...
E.g.:
root#somewhere:~# dokku mongo:list
NAME VERSION STATUS EXPOSED PORTS LINKS
mydb mongo:3.2.1 running 1->2->3->4->5 mydb
root#somewhere:~# dokku mongo:connect mydb
MongoDB shell version: 3.2.1
connecting to: mydb
> db
mydb
Mongo shell!
> exit
bye
For dokku v0.5.0+ and dokku-mongo v1.7.0+
Use mongodump to export your data into an archive:
mongodump --db mydb --gzip --archive=mydb.archive
Use dokku:import to import your data from an archive
dokku mongo:import mydb < mydb.archive

Error on neo4j server start on arch linux

I have an arch linux setup and installed neo4j through the arch user repository (yaourt -S neo4j), and I'm able to run the web console fine (sudo neo4j console with seemingly normal output and full functionality), however when trying to start the server (sudo neo4j start), I encounter the following error message:
/usr/share/neo4j/bin/utils: line 345: [: -lt: unary operator expected
Using additional JVM arguments: -server -XX:+DisableExplicitGC -Dorg.neo4j.server.properties=/etc/neo4j/neo4j-server.properties -Djava.util.logging.config.file=/etc/neo4j/logging.properties -Dlog4j.configuration=file:/etc/neo4j/log4j.properties -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled
Starting Neo4j Server...cat: /run/neo4j/neo4j-service.pid: No such file or directory
process []... waiting for server to be ready. Failed to start within 120 seconds.
Neo4j Server may have failed to start, please check the logs.
rm: cannot remove ‘/run/neo4j/neo4j-service.pid’: No such file or directory
There's no delay before the error message is printed, so it seems to be something other than the timeout. I'm quite new to neo4j (I worked through a fair bit of the user manual using the web console, but no development or server config experience), so I'm not really sure what else might be relevant. I tried looking through the utils script and the error appears to be where it attempts to su neo4j, but it also seems to proceed to attempt to start the server. I also tried changing the port it's starting on as in this question, but no change. The only log I can find just has this over and over (with appropriate timestamps):
Oct 15, 2014 1:33:49 AM com.sun.jersey.server.impl.application.WebApplicationImpl _initiate
INFO: Initiating Jersey application, version 'Jersey: 1.9 09/02/2011 11:17 AM'
Any help at all would be appreciated!
EDIT:
The line 345 that it's failing on is the end of this snippet:
if [ $UID == 0 ] ; then
OPEN_FILES=`su $NEO4J_USER -c "ulimit -n"`
else
OPEN_FILES=`ulimit -n`
fi
if [ $OPEN_FILES -lt 40000 ]; then
From doing some echo debugging, it seems that su $NEO4J_USER is failing, probably because $NEO4J_USER is set to neo4j, a user that does not exist on my system. I tried setting that to root in one of the config files, but evidently that's not working properly. Arch is a continual learning experience for me, but I've not had to add a new user before to get software working.
The interesting line here is:
/usr/share/neo4j/bin/utils: line 345: [: -lt: unary operator expected
I assume that is caused by a wrong default shell for the neo4j user. What default is currently set for the neo4j system user? Try to switch that to bash. The startup scripts should work nicely with bash.

mongodb won't start mongod -> error dbpath does not exists, but the path does exit

i'm having trouble starting my mongodb. I've installed it yesterday and even have put some records in the db. But later when I wanted to go further with the project and tried to start the db again it wouldn't start.
this is what I tried in my cmd (ps I'm using Windows 8 and i've turned off my firewall)
c:\mongo\bin>mongod --> error dbpath(\data\db) does not exist
c:\mongo\bin>mongo --> failed to connect to 127.0.0.1:27017 reason: errno:10061
c:\mongo\bin>mongo.exe --> failed to connect to 127.0.0.1:27017 reason: errno:10061
c:\mongo\bin>mongod.exe --> error dbpath(\data\db) does not exist
So generaly , it just keeps saying that the dbpath doesn't exist , but it does because in my c:\mongo\bin map i have a map data and in that map there is a map db
Try to explicitly specify path via --dbpath option or in config file, like this:
mongod --dbpath c:\data\db
worked for me to make a map in windows explorer and then run mongod.
But it needs to be the drive where mongo is installed c:\data\db and not in for example e:\data\db

Unable to query mongolab mongodb

I'm using the Nodejitsu and their packaged Mongolab MongoDB database. I ran the command jitsu databases get myDB and I got instructions on how to connect via mongo CLI. The out put of that command has a line that says the following:
help: Connect with the `mongo` cli client:
help:
$ mongo ds039267.mongolab.com:39267/nodejitsu_xxxxxx_nodejitsudb8577296358 -u nodejitsu_xxxxxx -p mypassword
NOTE: This is the first time I am connecting to this instance via the CLI. I only created the database name through jitsu databases create…
I am using Mongo Shell version 1.8.3. I connected to my instance of MongoDB. I tried running the command: show dbs and I got:
uncaught exception: listDatabases failed:{ "ok" : 0, "errmsg" : "unauthorized" }
I am using Mongoose and I have a model called Post. I tried to run: db.post.find() in the CLI, I got:
error: { "$err" : "not authorized for query on hotel.post", "code" : 16550 }
What does this mean? Am I not authorized; I thought I connected successfully?
Updated
I upgraded my mongo shell to the latest, 2.4.x version and still I'm getting this problem. Anyone have any experience with nodejitsu & mongolab?
MongoLab creates databases that require an authenticated user to access. When you connect with the Shell, you will need to provide the UserName and Password to the shell command. Docs are here.
mongo --username Mark --password something
You will need that Username/Password combination to be configured within mongoose as well. The Mongoose docs have details on the possible ways to do this.
Note that you are using a very old shell. 1.8.3 is about 4 versions back from the current 2.4.* line. This is not directly related to your problem, but it's definitely something you should rectify going forward.
Inside the mongo shell try to authenticate once again:
db.auth('yourUsername','yourPassword');
One possible error could be like me : Using special chars in the password breaks the URI!
The generated password was
X/apm~nq5JaJ,5
So OBVIOUSLY, the / broke the request and I got :
MongoError: not authorized for query on apm~nq5JaJ.system.indexes
You can try to include at the end of your URI: ?authMode=scram-sha1
