I'm using this official guide to install MongoDB on my Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial Xerus). At Run MongoDB Community Edition
I got
Failed to start mongod.service: Unit mongod.service not found.
After typing sudo service mongod start
. I just looked into /var/log/mongodb
, and it's empty. I didn't have any other error before this problem. How can I fix this?
