A workaround that MongoDB cannot start properly as a service and can be started in a shell-based manner

After running the repair I is able to start the Mongod proccessor and as root, which meant that service mongod start would isn't work. To repair this issue, I needed-make sure, the files inside the database folder were owned and grouped to Mongod . I did this by the following:

1. Check the file permissions inside your database folder
   1. Note You need to is in your DBPath folder mine is /var/lib/mongo I went tocd /var/lib
   2. I-Ranls -l mongo
2. This showed me-databases were owned by Root, which is wrong. I ran the following to fix this: chown -R mongod:mongod mongo . This changed the owner and group of every file in the folder to Mongod. (If using the MongoDB package, chown -R mongodb:mongodb mongodb )

I Hope this helps someone else on the future.
