Sat Apr 20 09:40:31.286 [initandlisten] exception in initandlisten: 12596 old lock file, terminating

seems to be caused by not closing mongodb properly. Take a look at the link and launch it as a fix.



first delete the mongod. Lock under /var/lib/mongo



and then start in repair mode:



and then again at startup



you can now see that the mongod process exists and is working properly

then how to close mongodb normally?

can go to the official documents:

http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/manage-mongodb-processes/

connect to the server through shell first:

mongo

use admin

db.shutdownServer()

or kill -15 < pid> , note that kill -9 can cause data file corruption
