sudo service mongodb restart gives "unrecognized service error" in ubuntu 14.0.4

Try this:

Write mongodb instead of mongod

sudo service mongodb status

mongodb ubuntu ubuntu-14.04

I got the same error one day You should use this:

1.Get the status of your mongo service:

 /etc/init.d/mongod status

 sudo service mongod status

2.If it's not started repair it like this:

sudo rm /var/lib/mongodb/mongod.lockmongod --repairsudo service mongodb start

And check again if the service is started again(1)

mongodb ubuntu ubuntu-14.04

For me the solution was to replace

service mongod start

with

start mongod
