For most people this file will be:<br /> #* Version: Current<br /> #* Platform: RedHat / CentOS 7.0<br /> #* Package: tgz<br /> # You will need to create a custom mongod.conf configuration file, using the second link above as a guide. The important thing is to set a custom path for &lt;code&gt;systemPath&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;dbPath&lt;/code&gt;. These must be directories that you own. Other than that, they can be anything you choose.<br /> # Start the mongo server: &quot;/path/to/bin/mongod --config /path/to/mongod.conf&quot;. Since you are using a custom .conf file you will need to specify this when starting/stopping the server.<br /> # Start the mongo client: &quot;/path/to/bin/mongo&quot;.<br /> # Once you are done, you can stop the server with &quot;/path/to/bin/mongod --config /path/to/mongod.conf --shutdown&quot;.</div>
