When I run "/usr/bin/mongod --config /var/data/rs1/rs1db0v3.conf". It failes. The error is: > warning: bind_ip of 0.0.0.0 is unnecessary; listens on all ips by default about to fork child process, waiting until server is ready for connections. forked process: 16970 ERROR: child process failed, exited with error number 1 The permission of the relative files and folds are following: > drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 115 Mar 16 14:47 . > > drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 43 Jan 20 12:12 .. > > drwxr-xr-x 6 mongodb mongodb 4096 Mar 16 15:05 db > > drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 28 Jan 20 10:04 keys > > drwxr-xr-x 2 mongodb mongodb 23 Jan 20 10:32 log > > -rwxr-xr-x 1 mongodb mongodb 593 Mar 16 14:47 rs1db0v3.conf > > **-rwxr-xr-x 1 mongodb mongodb 21303832 Mar 3 08:03 /usr/bin/mongod** I found similar questions in this website, but no answers can help me... **-----SOLVED-----** I have no idea how to run mongod as mongodb, so I changed the ownership to user1, and then run mongod as user1. It works. > drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 115 Mar 16 14:47 . > > drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 43 Jan 20 12:12 .. > > drwxr-xr-x 6 user1 mongodb 4096 Mar 16 15:05 db > > drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 28 Jan 20 10:04 keys > > drwxr-xr-x 2 user1 mongodb 23 Jan 20 10:32 log > > -rwxr-xr-x 1 user1 mongodb 593 Mar 16 14:47 rs1db0v3.conf > > **-rwxr-xr-x 1 user1 mongodb 21303832 Mar 3 08:03 /usr/bin/mongod**
