Resolving MongoDB Error When Starting with Homebrew on macOS

- Installing MongoDB Community Edition on macOS using Homebrew may result in a service listed as "error" despite a successful start. - The issue arises due to MongoDB running as the root user, leading to permission conflicts and service termination. - The solution involves changing the ownership of MongoDB directories to the current user, ensuring correct permissions. - To fix the issue, stop the MongoDB service, terminate any running MongoDB processes, and change the ownership of MongoDB directories. - Verify the directory ownership and start the MongoDB service as the user, not as root. - The service status should now show as started under the user's account. - Test the MongoDB connection to ensure successful connectivity. - Correcting directory permissions and running MongoDB as a user account resolves the error with starting the mongodb-community service. - Avoid using sudo with brew commands to prevent permission conflicts. - By following these steps, the issue with the mongodb-community service starting as error on macOS can be resolved, allowing for successful MongoDB operation.
