MongoDB - shutting down with code:62

Question

I followed the MongoDB Docs to run my MongoDB in macOS,

When I start MongoDB using the terminal get this error:

Shutting down with code: 62

Answer 1

Delete the data directory where MongoDB stored and create again.

rmdir data

And:

mkdir data/db

Answer 2

 Error code 62:MongoDB dbpath doesn't support the current version 

Removing data director is not an optimal solution. The best solution would be to upgrade to the higher version.

Else take the dump & restore the complete database on a fresh instance with a higher version.

mongodump --db employee --out /path/

mongorestore /path/employee/

Hope this helps !!!

Answer 3

This has worked for me

Initially i was facing various issues, like when i tried to start the server by using:

mongod

I received this error: shutting down with code 100

and then i tried to start by

sudo mongod

I received this error: shutting down with code 62

finally this command helped me to get rid of various issues

sudo mongod --repair

Now mongod server is running tentatively

sudo mongod

Please ensure if you are upgrading MongoDB, your featureCompatibilityVersion version is correct. I faced similar problem, after updating featureCompatibilityVersion to the correct version, it worked fine.
