I am Facing this error lots of times, I understand the question while answering it’s going an error guide me, please !!!
It looks like you are starting your mongod instance using command line options.
How did you start your mongod instance ?
The error message says : Non-existent data directory : /data/db not found
In this lab you are supposed to use /var/mongodb/db and not /data/db

i tried to make it but still showing this error
db.createUser({ user: “m103-application-user”, pwd: “m103-application-pass”, roles: [{role: “readWrite”, db: “applicationData”}]}),
syntax error near unexpected token `{’
you have to do that after connecting to your mongod with mongo
same error repeating actually

Im also having trouble with this question nothing I’m trying is helping I need a hand to get unstuck
post a screenshot of the issue in a new thread.
Mine is logging an error to the console:
ERROR: child process failed, exited with error number 48
I’m so lost
As already mentioned:
I don’t see how a screenshot would help 
I don’t see how I can help without a screen shot of what you are doing that shows the issue you are having.
Means another instance already running on same port/dbpath or address in use
Okay so what’s the solution?
Please run it without fork option.It will give more details on why it is failing
If another instance is already running kill it
Or it was already started for you.Please check your lab steps
Just connect to the instance and create the user
