MongoDB - Unit mongod.service can't found - Ubuntu 16.04

Question

When I try to start MongoDB, I get this error:

# mongo  
MongoDB shell version: 3.2.6
connecting to: test
2016-05-21T16:14:31.183+0300 W NETWORK  [thread1] Failed to connect to      127.0.0.1:27017, reason: errno:111 Connection refused
2016-05-21T16:14:31.183+0300 E QUERY    [thread1] Error: couldn't connect $ to server 127.0.0.1:27017, connection attempt failed :
connect@src/mongo/shell/mongo.js:229:14
@(connect):1:6

exception: connect failed

After that I do some research and learned that I firstly need to start MongoDB server with mongod command. But when I try that, I get an error again: try that, i get an error again:

I try start mongod service on console:

# service mongod start
Failed to start mongod.service: Unit mongod.service not found.

The answer lies in your log, as it says /data/db not found, so just create the /data/db file.

The next step for this is to make sure you have a unit file for the service.

Run this command: ls /lib/systemd/system

If you see mongod.service, you should be good to go. If you need to know what that file should look like, take a look at this guide.

In theory, that should be the last thing you need to do to get it working. Basically, this is just a file to tell the system how to put the service into various states, and the little house-cleaning tasks that need to be carried out.
