I am forced to install mongodb manually on an Ubuntu server because the machine sits behind a proxy and there is no way to temporary open port 11371 for key exchange to happen. I am following this official mongoDB tutorial.

So I downloaded the tgz and extracted it in /usr/local/bin/mongodb. Where I got confused is when assigning the ownership of the /data/db to the user mongo.

  • So who creates the user mongo?
  • How to get control-scripts working?

I would recommend installing the official package, it is much easier to get started.

Make sure you correctly set your http_proxy and https_proxy in the terminal session and do whatever mentioned in the tutorial again.

I am also behind firewall (need proxy to access the Internet), everything works fine.

Example:

export http_proxy="http://username:password@company.com:port/" export https_proxy="http://username:password@company.com:port/"

And also you can use apt-get install to install MongoDB
