I followed this link to install MongoDB on my machine. Everything was fine and it worked.
Currently, when I run sudo systemctl status mongod, I get this error:
● mongod.service - High-performance, schema-free document-oriented database

This is what I have done after it was ok, that might have caused the problem:
I decided to add mongodb extension using pecl.
I was not able to make a new database, neither by MongodDB Compassm, nor by Sell.
I uninstalled it.
I installed it from the same link and ran the same commands, but when I wanted to install it again, after running sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 0C49F3730359A14518585931BC711F9BA15703C6
command, I got gpg: unchanged: 1 at the end, not gpg: imported: 1 (RSA: 1) which I got for the first time.
I even deleted and recreated my dbPath folder (/var/lib/mongodb) which seems that the problem is somehow associated with this parameter which is on /etc/mongod.conf.
When I run sudo systemctl status mongod, I still get Active: failed.
What should I do to run MongoDB properly again and make its status Active: Running?
Update: This is my /etc/mongod.conf file:

I solved the problem by uninstalling MongoDB and installing a specific version of MongoDB, not the latest version, using this link. This might not be the actual solution but works for now.

I've installed mongodb on centos 7, but I can't start the service with systemctl.
Running mongod starts successfully.
I've followed all the instructions from here: https://mongoing.com/docs/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-red-hat.html
systemctl status mongod returns this:

I didn't change anything in mongod.conf and mongod.service. This is a fully fresh install.
Steps I've tried:
touch /var/run/mongodb/mongod.pid
chown mongod:mongod/var/run/mongodb/mongod.pid
I've checked every path with mongo in it, and they have the right
privileges. (mongod:mongod)
Checked that SELinux is disabled.
Allowed 27017 in ufw.
EDIT
/var/run/mongodb has every rwx.
I'm logged in as root
These two paths are different:

I'm trying to connect remotely to my Google Cloud Server with Robo 3T to connect too MongoDB v4.0.11 just so I can see the data from windows.
I am running Ubuntu 18.04LTS Minimal. To enable remote connections to MongoDB I have first created both an administrative and root user in my admin database.
My problem is once I add authorization: "enabled" to security: in /etc/mongod.conf and restart MongoDB, I get the following status when running $:systemctl status mongod

It appears there is an invalid argument in /etc/mongod.conf but from what I have read online I can't see the problem.
wrong:
#security:
authorization: "enabled"
correct:
security:
authorization: enabled
For the 4.x release it appears you need to modify the existing security section you have listed
#security:
authorization: "enabled"
And replace it with security.authorization: enabled or
security:
authorization: "enabled"
You should then be able to reload and test authentication is working as expected.
If you dig into the docs you will find the relevant section here.
security.authorization
Type: string
Default: disabled
Enable or disable Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) to govern each user’s access to database resources and operations.
Set this option to one of the following:
Value Description
enabled A user can access only the database resources and actions for which they have been granted privileges.
disabled A user can access any database and perform any action.
In my case the problem was that I used a tab to indent the authorization: enabled line. When I replaced the tab with 2 spaces it worked.
I did install mongodb(3.2.18) on my ubuntu server ( 16.04 ) named automationTaskV3 . It work when i'm working on my server, but when i try to connect from my computer it failed only when mongodb is start as a service.
For example if i start mongod this way :
sudo mongod
it will work i can access my dbs
But if i do :
sudo service mongod start
it will be impossible for me to connect from my computer.
Otherwise the mongod service status seems ok :
sudo service mongod status

Is it possible that's a user right problem ? It seems strange as i follow the steps from thoses tutorials :
https://www.linode.com/docs/databases/mongodb/install-mongodb-on-ubuntu-16-04
https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-ubuntu/
As I said in the comment that its the IP binding issue. So you can even try this solution.
You can access the 27017 port of your remote machine by using ssh tunnelling as it is most the easiest way and it's also a secure way.
ssh -L 27017:localhost:27017 username#remoteaddress.com
This command says forward 27017 port of your local machine to address localhost:27017 of your remote machine.
You will be prompted for the password (of remote machine) if you don't have ssh keys set up. Now you might get prompt for ssh of your remote machine don't close it unless you want to close port forwarding, open a new tab of your terminal or Robomongo you can now connect to localhost:27017. So it's like MongoDB is installed on your local machine but actually, it is serving from the remote machine using ssh.
To know more about ssh tunneling read here : https://www.ssh.com/ssh/tunneling
When I attempt to start the mongodb service using the command sudo service mongod start, it doesn't work. Upon closer inspection with 'sudo service mongod status` the following is found:

The mongodb user been given access to the \tank\mongodirectory using the command: sudo chown -R mongodb:users /tank/mongo.
It turns out that I was supposed to give permission to mongodb:mongodb, and not only that; the child folders didn't inherit the permissions, so I had to give the permissions at the folder levels specified in the config /tank/mongo/log/mongodb/, /tank/mongo/mongodb.
I leave the answer in case it might help someone who is in a similar situation.

The root issue is selinux permissions, which is enabled by default in CentOS 7. This can be fixed by disabling selinux or adding the correct context to the mongo database path:
chcon -R -t mongod_var_lib_t /var/lib/mongod
