I have been trying to set up MongoDB on my Mac using homebrew. I used MongoDB’s Documentation to do that, everything is installed correctly on my mac. But when I start the MongoDB services and try to run MongoDB manually as a background process I come across this error.

mongod --config /opt/homebrew/etc/mongod.conf --fork ─╯
about to fork child process, waiting until server is ready for connections.
forked process: 6558
ERROR: child process failed, exited with 48

And I cannot even access Mongo Shell , this is what I get

mongosh ─╯
[1] 7036 killed mongosh

@Fabio_Ramohitaj the port is not busy. I checked there was no port 27017

@Fabio_Ramohitaj umm… what port? There is no field named as “port” in the configuration file.

@Fabio_Ramohitaj Hey !!

No Im unable to connect to the instance using mongo --port 27018 or mongosh --port 27018

here is the result:-

╭─    ~ ──────────────────────────────────────── KILL ✘  01:50:14 AM  ─╮
╰─ mongo --port 27018                                                        ─╯
