Im running as root on a smartos64 machine.

  • My database is at /data/db
  • Mongod is at /mongo/bin/mongod

I get a ‘permission denied’ error with no further details when running either
– run ./mongo/bin/mongod or
– sudo ./mongo/bin/mongod

I tried changing permissions with chown on /data/db, but I still get this behaviour. How would I start mongo?

    What build of Mongo did you download? I believe SmartOS64 is a derivative of Solaris, so I would try a Solaris build from the Mongo download site. If that doesn’t work, you may want to build it from source.
