sometimes the data is stored in var/lib/mongod.

start a replica set use:

mongod --port 27017 --dbpath "/var/lib/mongodb" --replSet rs0

check appropriate location and change dbpath location

If you have a look into your /etc/mongod.conf you will see 

storage:
 dbPath: /data/db

So create directory /data/db and ensure proper permission.
