Solution 1:[1]

I ran into this same issue a few days ago. I am using Mac OS. Apparently, there was a permission problem with having my data directory in the root of my home folder. So what i did was i just created a directory in a folder in a location where i definitely have permissions and then ran mongo db with the the --dbpath option set to that location. for example: 

mongod --dbpath ~/documents/data/db

Hope this helps :D

Just create a new folder in the data directory (the disk which was given in the error - for me, suggested to create these folders on the E disk). First create data the create db folser in data. Then start mongod again.
