I have been trying to set up MongoDB server using their onsite guide for the Debian distro. everything goes well with no errors but I cannot start the mongo daemon (mongod) using both, (sudo systemctll start mongod) / (sudo service mongod start)

  • ParrotOS iso in use:
    parrot os 5.0

  • Application used for flashing the iso:

  • Logs/Terminal output (use pastebin or similar services):

Hello. Maybe you need to give him execution permissions (chmod +x). However you may see more error logs with sudo journalctl -u mongod.

Okay. Thanks. I also found a means which was by:

  1. Download a compressed folder of the MongoDB community server from their official site for the Debian 10 version (my Debian version). “mongodb-linux-x86_64-debian10-5.0.5.tgz” (find the best version according to your system)
  2. Extract the folder to your home directory and rename it to ‘mongodb’ so the directory reads ‘/home/{userName}/mongodb’
  3. Add another directory ‘mongodb-data’ for the database logs within the same home directory as the server’s i.e ‘/home/{userName}/mongodb-data’
  4. Then to start the server using the ‘mongod’ file which is located within the bin folder inside the server folder, use the commands; /home/{userName}/mongodb/bin/mongod --dbpath=/home/{userName}/mongodb-data
