      I'm using Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 and I'm facing problems when try to enable security authorization on my MongoDB 3.2 configuration.

      When I start the service system shows following error:

      # systemctl start mongod
Job for mongod.service failed. See 'systemctl status mongod.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.

      # cat mongod.conf
systemLog:
  destination: file
  logAppend: true
  path: /var/log/mongodb/mongod.log


storage:
  dbPath: /var/lib/mongo
  journal:
    enabled: true
  engine: wiredTiger

processManagement:
  fork: true  # fork and run in background
  pidFilePath: /var/run/mongodb/mongod.pid  # location of pidfile

net:
  port: 27017

security:
  authorization: enable
