Have you given permissions for MongoDB to write to /data/db/ ?
If you’re running it with user/group as mongo/mongo, then you can run this and then try to start MongoDB again:

chown -R mongo:mongo /data/db

@tamburrinipietro89 Run this command to show the contents:

sudo cat /etc/mongodb.conf

    I only have a mongod.conf , not mongodb.conf
    The output of that command mongod.conf

    # mongod.conf

      Okay, you must have a configuration file somewhere else, since this file has a different dbPath and no user/group information.
