            <title>[DOCS-3167] Suggestion for /manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-red-hat-centos-or-fedora-linux/</title>
                <link>https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/DOCS-3167</link>
                <project id="10380" key="DOCS">Documentation</project>
                    <description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;This tutorial outlines the steps to install MongoDB on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS Linux, Fedora Linux and related systems. The tutorial uses .rpm packages to install.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The last sentence is a bit rough.  Consider something like &quot;This tutorial outlines the steps to install MongoDB &lt;em&gt;from &lt;tt&gt;.rpm&lt;/tt&gt; packages&lt;/em&gt;&quot; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;This package contains all MongoDB tools from the latest stable release.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It is not clear to the na&#239;ve reader whether the &lt;tt&gt;mongo-10gen&lt;/tt&gt; package contains mongod and mongos or not, and whether one package or two must be installed.  Even though this is made somewhat clear later, it&apos;s upsetting here.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;When this command completes, you have successfully installed MongoDB!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I&apos;m not sure about &lt;tt&gt;yum&lt;/tt&gt;, but various package installers require me to answer &lt;tt&gt;y&lt;/tt&gt; or &lt;tt&gt;yes&lt;/tt&gt; to some questions.  Does or might &lt;tt&gt;yum&lt;/tt&gt;?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;A correction is forthcoming, see &lt;a href=&quot;https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/SERVER-7285&quot; title=&quot;Support systemd in future compatible distributions&quot; class=&quot;issue-link&quot; data-issue-key=&quot;SERVER-7285&quot;&gt;&lt;del&gt;SERVER-7285&lt;/del&gt;&lt;/a&gt; for more information, and in the mean time use your own control scripts or install using the procedure outlined in Install MongoDB on Linux Systems.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Comma splice.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Control Scripts&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;After reading this section and following the &quot;control scripts&quot; link, I have no idea what, if anything, I&apos;m supposed to do with control scripts.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;(I&apos;d expect to see text like &quot;These scripts tell MongoDB how to start and stop.  If you want to change the location of MongoDB&apos;s data files from /var/lib/mongo, edit the control script &lt;tt&gt;foo&lt;/tt&gt; and change the &lt;tt&gt;--dbpath&lt;/tt&gt; parameter in the &lt;tt&gt;mongod&lt;/tt&gt; command on line 384753945&quot;)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;You can use the mongod init script to derive your own mongos control script.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Why would I want to do that?  What would such a script do?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;(As a Mongo expert, I&apos;d expect an answer along the lines of &quot;A typical mongos control script will start three mongos instances, giving them information in command-line arguments or configuration files about the replica sets in their sharded cluster&quot;)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;enable access to the relevant ports (e.g. 27017) for SELinux.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For extra friendliness, I&apos;d recommend adding a clause like &quot;&lt;em&gt;e.g.,&lt;/em&gt; using the &lt;tt&gt;foo&lt;/tt&gt; tool&quot; here, if there is a standard tool to enable access to ports on SELinux.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;The MongoDB instance stores its data files in the /var/lib/mongo and its log files in /var/log/mongo, and run using the mongod user account. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Can this be changed?  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you change the user that runs the MongoDB process, you must modify the access control rights to the /var/lib/mongo and /var/log/mongo directories.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For extra friendliness, consider adding a clause like &quot;using a command like {{chown newuser /var/&lt;/p&gt;
{lib,log}
&lt;p&gt;/mongo}}&quot;.  Or whatever we recommend doing, if &lt;tt&gt;chown&lt;/tt&gt; isn&apos;t the right thing.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;You can verify that the mongod process has started successfully by checking the contents of the log file at /var/log/mongo/mongod.log.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A na&#239;ve user who has never seen a MongoDB log file might well get upset here, wondering &quot;What do I look for to tell if it&apos;s working?&quot;  A link to a &quot;reading MongoDB log files&quot; page might be helpful here, or, lacking that, a sentence to the effect that a running MongoDB log file tends to have &lt;tt&gt;waiting for connection&lt;/tt&gt; or &lt;tt&gt;connection accepted&lt;/tt&gt; messages towards the end, whereas a failed log file ends with &lt;tt&gt;shutdown&lt;/tt&gt; messages and reasons why it failed.  If you actually look at the log it&apos;s usually easy to tell, though I&apos;m not sure how to communicate this to a na&#239;ve user.&lt;/p&gt;
