/data/db is the default ( i.e. with no conf file )

/var/lib/mongodb is how it is configured in many distributions via the /etc/mongodb.conf file.

Before doing any of the other solutions see my answer here.

Maybe your conf file is being rejected due to outdated options or format changes.

You may need to follow following procedure:

  1. Create a dbpath: mkdir -p /var/lib/mongodb/data/db
  2. Allow required permissions: sudo chown mongodb:mongodb /var/lib/mongodb/data/db/ -R
  3. Start mongodb from command line as: mongod -dbpath /var/lib/mongodb/data/db
