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

1. Find mongo log file from root system folder

sudo find / -name "mongodb.log" -type f

result: /var/log/mongodb/mongodb.log

2. open /var/log/mongodb/mongodb.log

3. search for last "exception" word

4. try to correct exception

In my case exception was the next: 2015-07-30T15:09:15.806+0300 [initandlisten] exception in initAndListen: 13597 can't start without --journal enabled when journal/ files are present, terminating

I made the next:

1. cd /var/lib/mongodb
2. rm -r journal/
