thanks I needed this it helped me speed up my install. barring for the fact that maybe you should publish an updated version for this. It would help a lot of lost folks. minor things changed which isnt hard to figure out anyway.

thanks for the time to publish this.

Thanks… very helpful.

FYI, this line has a typo: sudo /etc/init.d/monod start

and should be: sudo /etc/init.d/mongod start

You probably need to make sure that the “mongod” user was created. You can check via: $> grep “mongod” /etc/passwd
If there is no user then add the user via: $> useradd mongod
