MongoDB service error 1067 Issue : service not starting

This is a very annoying error that we cannot see origin. Some blogs refers that is a space limitation issue.

In the file mongodb.log, you will see the following things :

The solution :

To start mongodb after a forced shutdown, you’ll need to access folder /mongodb-2.0/data/into your Mongo database Application node, and remove the mongodb.lock file. Then you can start your mongodb service instance

Enjoy!
