I have installed mongodb-community4.4 via homebrew. I can make mongodb.community start and stop succefully however when I run brew services the status is ‘error’.
Name Status User Plist
mongodb-community@4.4 error jbs /Users/jbs/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.mongodb-community@4.4.plist
Okay so my work around which seems to work is simply:
Download the mongodb tgz. file. Initiate, with sudo authority, mongod using a path to the location of the download/bin and a --dbpath to a local file location. Something like:
Then I can start mongo and it connects to the local host fine. The only issue is memory. When my local drive fills up the server gets interrupted and mongo looses connection to the host. I assume the only solution is an external hard drive?
