Edouard,
At work I run MongoDB 2.2.0 successfully on my Linux Desktop running Fedora
17 and on a couple of our QA and production servers running RHEL 6. I use
the same config for both Fedora and RHEL.
I have a fairly standard mongodb.conf file in /etc/mongodb/ (on some
servers I need to run multiple instances, so I prefer to group all of their
conf files into a single directory). I always install MongoDB from a
tarball rather than an rpm. Personal preference.
I created a mongodb user and group under which I run mongod. I then have a
custom init script for starting, stopping repairing, checking status, etc.
I store logs in /var/log/mongodb/ (again, a directory for the log file for
each instance).
I created the init file a year or two ago, based off someone else's script
in a gist. It's probably not that different than the one that comes with
the rpm, but this one is mine and it works well for me.
I run the init script directly to start, stop, etc. Typing service instead
of /etc/init.d/ isn't a huge win for me. Have you tried that instead of
service mongod start?
Some of your posts show lines like with the user and file name as mongodb:
-rw-r--r--. 1 mongodb mongodb 986 Oct 5 23:43 mongodb.log
and others with mongod:
rw-r----. 1 mongod mongod 0 Aug 28 22:42 mongod.log
Maybe check the init script to see which user account it is trying to use?
I run my init script via sudo, but in the script I run mongod as the
mongodb user. Also, in the start section of my init script, I first ensure
the /var/log/mongodb/mongod.log file is there and properly owned via touch
and chown.
