When using the command

db["my_collectionName"].find()

in the mongo shell, my queries return:

"message" : "Permission denied @ rb_sysopen - /var/log/syslog".

How do I go about solving this permission issue?

Make sure you have proper permissions for /data/db folder/directory.

  • thanks for your response. Per your response I tried the command: sudo chmod 0755 /data/db && sudo chown $USER /data/db and my permission is still denied – AspEng Jul 12 '18 at 08:44
  • You have to do it recursively: sudo chown -R mongodb:mongodb /data/db – Andrew Komiagin Jul 12 '18 at 08:47
  • Have you checked the log file /var/log/mongodb/mongodb.log ? – Andrew Komiagin Jul 12 '18 at 08:49
  • Kormiagin I did as you suggested i.e.,sudo chown -R mongodb:mongodb /data/db ...here is a snippet of the log file: – AspEng Jul 12 '18 at 11:16

You can try:

sudo chown -R mongodb:mongodb /data/db

Check all paths in mongodb config (/etc/mongod.conf) and assign right permission (dbpath, logpath...)
