 Description   

We just talked about this in person.

The 2.6 Linux packages have a lot of changes from 2.4 that can catch people off guard -
Package names (no more "10gen")
Standardization of naming and paths across packages -

  • init scripts and service name (mongod)
  • config file path (/etc/mongod.conf)
  • log paths (/var/log/mongodb/mongod.log)
  • data directory (/var/lib/mongodb)
  • User and group (mongodb/mongodb)

ernie.hershey@10gen.com could you validate what still needs to be done on this?
