 Description   

Hi,

I am a newbie, so please excuse me if I've got this wrong, but I'm unsure about this paragraph:
The MongoDB instance stores its data files in /var/lib/mongo and its log files in /var/log/mongo, and runs using the mongod user account. If you change the user that runs the MongoDB process, you must modify the access control rights to the /var/lib/mongodb and /var/log/mongodb directories.

It seems to me that the MongoDB instance stores its data files in /var/lib/mongo and its log files in ** /var/log/mongodb **. Therefore you must modify access control rights to the ** /var/lib/mongo ** and /var/log/mongodb directories.
