So when ,trying to start monogdb service by command systemctl start mongod, it is giving error as Permission denied to read conf file.

Given same permission as default location conf file to custome location conf file and also update the file /usr/lib/systemd/system/mongod.service and changed the 

Environment="OPTIONS=-f /etc/mongod.conf"

to 

Environment="OPTIONS=-f /root/mongod.conf"

Can someone please help me with this?

  • What were the permissions of file /etc/mongod.conf. Can you do `ll /etc/mongod.conf` and show me what it is? – Vihar Manchala Mar 13 '19 at 17:45
  • [root@ip-172-31-32-91 ec2-user]# ll /etc/mongod.conf -rw-r--r--. 1 mongod mongod 801 Mar 13 07:19 /etc/mongod.conf [root@ip-172-31-32-91 ec2-user]# ll /root/mongod.conf -rw-r--r--. 1 mongod mongod 801 Mar 12 09:51 /root/mongod.conf – AKSHAY MORE Mar 14 '19 at 06:07
  • Can you modify the permissions and give it an execute permissions. It just has read access, you may have to add execute permissions. Lemme know if it works – Vihar Manchala Mar 14 '19 at 13:33
  • Also, you can try by changing the owner of the file to root, and then use the command that I have given you before `sudo systemctl start mongod` – Vihar Manchala Mar 14 '19 at 13:38
  • ll /root/mongod.conf -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 801 Mar 12 09:51 /root/mongod.conf – AKSHAY MORE Mar 15 '19 at 06:32
  • sudo systemctl start mongod Job for mongod.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status mongod.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details. – AKSHAY MORE Mar 15 '19 at 06:33
