Hi,

try running it with "nohup 'command' &"


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nohup

[Paul Aan]

mongod --rest --shard {your configuration} --fork --logpath=/path/to/your/mongodb.log

Within --fork and --logpath <<< mongod will run as a deamon

Cheers.

Hi,


This  command is not working. can u help for me.

[Scott Hernandez]

Are you using the package manager and init daemon (upstart) to run the
server? If not, why not?

Following these directions on ubuntu will get everything working
without you having to manually start the mongod process nor worry
about such things:

[Scott Hernandez]

Yes, please follow those directions and les us know if you have any
trouble at any step.
http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-debian-or-ubuntu-linux/

If you would rather do manually, please see the general
ubuntu/debian/linux community for how to run a process outside of your
terminal session -- here are a few quick results to help get you
started:

Hi,

http://mongojs.org/install-mongodb-ubuntu-11-04-natty

start for lets begin step. so it is run the server but it is not running background..

Can u help for me?

Thanks,
Prem

Prem, yes, we can help. Please tell us precisely what steps you've taken so far. What step are you at now? What command do you run, and what is the expected outcome, and what is the actual outcome?

Once you have completed the following two steps in the instructions you'll have a mongod process running in the background:

sudo apt-get install mongodb-10gen
sudo service mongodb start 

At this point, simply type 'mongo' to start a MongoDB shell, and it will log into the server which you have started in the background.

[A. Jesse Jiryu Davis]

Oh, first, can you simply run:

sudo ps aux | grep mongo

... and post the output here?

[A. Jesse Jiryu Davis]

At that point, run:

~/mongodb-linux-x86_64-2.0.1/bin/mongod --dbpath data/db --logpath mongod.log --fork

Confirm it's running:

ps aux | grep mongod

Log in:

~/mongodb-linux-x86_64-2.0.1/bin/mongo
