      I updated mongodb via repo.mongodb.org, but it did not start the service when it is done because:
      ERROR: Cannot write pid file to /var/run/mongod.pid: Permission denied

      The /etc/init.d/mongod script does not check for permissions of the mongodb user on the pid file. I think that would be the best place to solve this issue.
