init.d for ubuntu

[karikrishni]

Hi All,

Anybody having init.d/mongo script to start and stop the mongo server?
If you have, could you please post it to me.

Sorry, I don't much about linux system.

Regards,

Krish

This is the init.d script that will be in the apt-get package: http://groups.google.com/group/mongodb-user/web/mongodb.  It expects mongod to be in /usr/bin (if it's not, just change line 50).   It will create dbs in /var/lib/mongodb (if you'd like them to be somewhere else, change line 51).

Put the "mongodb" script in /etc/init.d and run:

$ useradd mongodb

Then, to start at stop the db:

sudo /etc/init.d/mongodb start
sudo /etc/init.d/mongodb stop

Let me know if you have any problems!

Here is attached my version uses start-stop daemon.
Everything is configurable and base dir is /opt/mongodb
Stop sends signal 2 ctrl+c gently.
Log is not redirected, anyone knows how to redirect with start-stop
daemon drop me a line.

Peace

Hi Kristina, Kunthar,

I could not start the db with both the script. But I am sure something
wrong with my system.

Where I can see the log files? I am not getting any error messages but
mongodb could not start.

I use Ubuntu 9.

I will give one more try before seeking help.

Thank you both for script.

Regards,

Gopal

did you run from console beforehand?
$mongo_dir/bin/mongod --dbpath /your/path --noauth

[Kristina Chodorow]

If you aren't getting any output, I'm guessing mongod isn't where the scripts are expecting it to be.  Can you run:

$ which mongod

If you downloaded the binary from the website, I'm guessing mongod isn't on your path, it's somewhere like /home/youruser/mongo-0.9.5/bin/mongod.  In this case, change line 50 of my script to:

DAEMON=/home/youruser/mongo-0.9.5/bin/mongod

For Kunthar's script, run:

export MONGOPATH=/home/youruser/mongo-0.9.5

Finally, make sure the data directory exists.  For my script, do

$ mkdir /var/lib/mongodb

for Kunthar's, do

$ mkdir $MONGOPATH/data

Hi Kristina,

It works. There was issue in mapping the right path.

Is it safe to run the cron job for every 5 minutes to start the
mongodb in case of any crash? I have a similar cron job for pylons/
paster server. I wonder mongodb require any such options.

What can you suggest?

Thanks in advance.

./mongod --dbpath /var/lib/mongodb --noauth -v --cpu inside a screen session :)

I have just set this up on CentOS 5.2. Calling the init script output
this error:

./mongodb: line 58: /lib/lsb/init-functions: No such file or directory

I installed redhat-lsb which fixed this error, but now I get:

/etc/init.d/mongodb: line 180: log_daemon_msg: command not found

Having searched around, it seems these are part of the lsb functions;
but they are already installed:

Package redhat-lsb-3.1-12.3.EL.el5.centos.x86_64 already installed and
latest version
Package redhat-lsb-3.1-12.3.EL.el5.centos.i386 already installed and
latest version

Any suggestions?

[Mitch Pirtle]

I ran into the exact same problem using RHEL5 - the version provided
is not current, and lacks several methods in the helper libraries.

One thing I've been meaning to do is rewrite the init scripts to be
compatible with older versions of init-functions but I am buried in a
mad dash to the finish line (just like all other website projects).

Hi Vikas,

The discussion you are replying to is from 2009 (!) .. so things have definitely changed since then :).

In future please start a new discussion with details of your specific environment and question.

As a starting point for installing MongoDB and running `mongod` as service, please see the installation guides in the MongoDB manual:
 http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/installation/#installation-guides

Thanks,

Stephen
