Hello there

I installed mongodb on Debia 8 using this https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-debian/

the install was OK but when i try to start the service, i have this message

mongod: unrecognized service

i tried

mongod--repair

then i get an error with permission access (can't create lock file in read only directory /data/db/

i run

sudo chown-R'id -u'/data/db/

and this solved my issue

now mongod --repair output this

Hi Hafid

I tried following all the instruction in https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-debian/ and found that the service was installed correctly on a vanilla Debian 8 deployment:

$ uname -a
Linux jessie 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.39-1 (2016-12-30) x86_64 GNU/Linux
$ sudo service mongod status
● mongod.service - High-performance, schema-free document-oriented database
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/mongod.service; disabled)
   Active: active (running) since Wed 2017-03-01 23:52:33 GMT; 22s ago
     Docs: https://docs.mongodb.org/manual
 Main PID: 9230 (mongod)
   CGroup: /system.slice/mongod.service
           └─9230 /usr/bin/mongod --quiet --config /etc/mongod.conf

Could you please post the step-by-step commands that you executed?

Please note that --repair has nothing to do with MongoDB service installation; it is a maintenance command that affects your data in a non-reversible manner. Running --repair on an existing deployment without a thorough understanding of the command’s operations is therefore not recommended.
