Unable to start MongoDB

[Ajay Bidyarthy]

Hi, 

I am unable to start the MongoDB. 

When I type mongo in console, it throw this error: 

Uttam@mongodb-gullak:~$ mongo

MongoDB shell version: 3.2.0

connecting to: /opt/bitnami/mongodb/tmp/mongodb-27017.sock:27017/test

Please help.

Hello Ajay,

From the error message it seems to be the user permission issue. Have you tried $ sudo mongo?

I hope that helps.
