How to resolve error :dbpath (/data/db/) does not exist permanently in MongoDB

Question

I have installed mongodb in my Ubuntu 10.04.

I know that when it comes to start the mongodb server with the command \"mongod\",then it expects /data/db

Answer 1

Change the user of the new data directory:

chown mongodb [rute_directory]

And try another time to start the mongo service

service mongodb start

I solve the same problem with this.
