      Hi,
      I'm running mongo server on rhel7 and systemd,

      1. rpm -q mongodb-org-server
        mongodb-org-server-2.6.4-1.x86_64

      I'm trying to run the daemon: # /etc/rc.d/init.d/mongod start
      Starting mongod (via systemctl): Job for mongod.service failed. See 'systemctl status mongod.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.
      [FAILED]

      when I look at the log, I'm seeing:
      2014-10-20T11:36:28.085+0530 ***** SERVER RESTARTED *****
      2014-10-20T11:36:28.087+0530 ERROR: Cannot write pid file to /var/run/mongodb/mongod.pid: No such file or directory

      The way around it is to create mongodb.conf in /lib/tmpfiles.d/ with following content:
      d /var/run/mongodb 0755 mongod mongod

      Please add /lib/tmpfiles.d/mongodb.conf to mongodb-org-server package

      Many thanks,
      Tomas
