Still got this in 2020. reinstalling all mongodb-related packages solved it for me

apt purge mongo*
apt install mongodb

Note that simply reinstalling just mongodb package doesn't fix it.

In a terminal run sudo find / -name mongodb.conf (I'm aware that the OP looks for mongod.conf, not sure if this is a typo? No such file on my system...)

Finding your mongod config path using mongo shell:

db.adminCommand('getCmdLineOpts');

It returns all command line options. Just for config path:

db.adminCommand('getCmdLineOpts').parsed.config;

Reference: https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/command/getCmdLineOpts/

--

You can create manually. Path: /etc/mongod.conf

Also take a look https://docs.mongodb.org/v3.0/reference/configuration-options/#use-the-configuration-file
