Linux – mongod service not starting

debiandebian-squeezelinuxmongodb

I've installed mongodb in Debian Squeeze using this guide (guide here)
Installed successfully.

It was running well until I restarted the machine (using command "reboot");

After restart, mongodb is not able to initiate correctly.

Log file (/var/log/mongodb/mongod.log):

(...)
2014-07-03T16:43:45.350+0000 [initandlisten] options: { config: "/etc/mongod.conf", net: { bindIp: "127.0.0.1" }, storage: { dbPath: "/var/lib/mongodb" }, systemLog: { destination: "file", logAppend: true, path: "/var/log/mongodb/mongod.log" } }

I've tried this but It didn't help.

Also tried

/etc/init.d/mongod stop/start/restart

And got:

root@Whatever:~# /etc/init.d/mongod stop
Stopping database: mongod apparently not running.
root@Whatever:~# /etc/init.d/mongod start
Starting database: mongod failed!
root@Whatever:~# /etc/init.d/mongod restart
Restarting database: mongod failed!

EDIT:
/etc/mongo.conf:

Check to see if your network interface is up. With a binding error like that you have two major options:

  1. Something is already listening on that port. (Not the case for you)
  2. You don't have the declared IP address available. (In your case I don't think 127.0.0.1 is up)
