Failed to set up sockets during startup. dbexit: rc: 48 error in mongodb

Question

I updated mongo to version 3.2 now I am getting this error. Earlier I was not getting error. Only after updating mongo I am getting this error. I even tried to stop and star

Answer 1

Find the process running on port 27017:

C:\Users\hughes> netstat -aon | findstr 27017
  TCP    0.0.0.0:27017          0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING       3344

The last column shows the PID (3344). Find the process name for that PID:

C:\Users\hughes> tasklist /fi "pid eq 3344"
Image Name                     PID Session Name        Session#    Mem Usage
========================= ======== ================ =========== ============
VirtualBox.exe                3344 Console                    1    101,908 K

For me it turned out that VirtualBox's port forwarding was the issue.

Answer 2

check if db in running, run:

ps aux | grep mongo

locate the db (ex. here is 77071) and kill it, run:

kill -9 77071

Answer 3

so the mongod output tells

listen(): bind() failed errno:98 Address already in use for socket: 0.0.0.0:27017"

which means some process is already using the same socet. For instance, if I try to run mongod when its already running, I get exactly this output. Are you sure that this is not your case? I would guess so, as the mongo shell seems to connect successfully...
