I'm starting my mongod with the following command:
mongod --port 27017 --dbpath /var/lib/mongodb/ --replSet rs0
It works fine and I can configure the replica set. When I try to to launch mongod with service mongod start command it fails with the following error:
Starting database mongod [fail]
I have no error in var/log/mongodb/mongodb.log, /var/log/syslog or /var/log/syslog.1.
I found this work-around solution to run as mongod as a service:
mongod --port 27017 --dbpath /var/lib/mongodb/ --replSet rs0 --fork --logpath /var/log/mongodb/mongodb.log or mongod --config /etc/mongod.conf
I'm running on mongodb 2.6. rs.initiate() worked fine.
I added fork = true and replSet = rs0 in my /etc/mongod.conf.
How can I start MongoDB by using service mongod start?
