Cannot start CryoSPARC `pymongo.errors.OperationFailure: there are no users authenticated`

Troubleshooting

Hi,

I recently updated to version 4.0.1. For a while, everything was fine. However, recently the master process stopped. When I try to restart it, however, I get the following error:

Starting cryoSPARC System master process..
CryoSPARC is not already running.

Any idea what is going on? It seems that a similar error was reported here for version 4.0: https://discuss.cryosparc.com/t/fixdbport-is-erroring/9456

But I have verified that I have 4.0.1 on both master and worker.

Thanks a lot in advance

Hi @Rafa,

Could you please try the following and see if it resolves the issue:

Check that no MongoDB zombie processes are running on the master node. First stop the running CryoSPARC instance:

cryosparcm stop

On the CryoSPARC master node, list all processes associated with MongoDB with the following command:

ps -aux | grep mongo

If you see any processes that appear associated with MongoDB launched by a previous instance of CryoSPARC, kill them with the command kill <PID> , where <PID> is the process ID number at the beginning of each line.

Then start CryoSPARC on the master note or workstation:

cryosparcm start

Hi @nwong ,

Thanks a lot, this has indeed worked and I have been able to restart cryoSPARC!

Best wishes,

Rafa
