MongoDB data/db not found

I do gave this path for data/db 

/usr/local/Cellar/mongodb/3.2.6/data/db

The following step was made in order to create a bound to mongodb folder

sudo mongod --directoryperdb --dbpath /usr/local/Cellar/mongodb/3.2.6/data/db --logpath /usr/local/Cellar/mongodb/3.2.6/log/mongodb.log --logappend -rest

When initialize sudo mongod in terminal the following error appears:

2016-06-08T14:45:06.970+0200 I CONTROL  [initandlisten] MongoDB starting : pid=8107 port=27017 dbpath=/data/db 64-bit host=iMac-Krystyna-2.local

2016-06-08T14:45:06.970+0200 I CONTROL  [initandlisten] dbexit:  rc: 100

Can you please explain what is wrong and maybe show some common practice in order to work correctly with MongoDB?

I had the same issue. This worked for me:

sudo mongod --dbpath ~/data/db

In my case, an incorrect conf file caused Mongo to use default settings (i.e. using /data/db as the storage path. Because /data/db doesn't exist, it complains.

Possible sources of incorrect config include:

(1) Unquoted strings. E.g. storage.dbPath should be "some/path" (2) Incorrect bindIp. It seems an array of IPs is not supported.

So my fix was simply to use quoted strings in those places: storage: dbPath: "/some/path" net: bindIp: "127.0.0.1"

Note: My "/some/path" has permissions drwxr-xr-x (755) and is owned by mongodb/mongodb. And it works.

You can also give this command sudo mongod --dbpath=/var/lib/mongodb. Open another terminal and run your mongod.

You need to create this directory as root

Either you need to use sudo , e.g. sudo mkdir -p /data/db

Or you need to do su - to become superuser, and then create the directory with mkdir -p /data/db

MongoDB try to find data/db folder under root directory of your system. try to create folder under /data/db.
