      rm -r /var/run/mongodb/
      		 
      systemctl start mongod

      or:

      rm -r /var/run/mongodb/
      		 
      /etc/init.d/mongod start

      Show
      rm -r /var/run/mongodb/ systemctl start mongod or: rm -r /var/run/mongodb/ /etc/init .d /mongod start

    Description

      When the init.d script is invoked without an existing /var/run/mongodb/, mongod fails to start. The variable PIDDIR is missing from the file. A fix is attached as a diff for /etc/init.d/mongod.

      This is specially problematic in distros where /var/run is mounted as a tempfs where it's empty on every boot.
