Answer 2

I was able to fix the

mongod: unrecognized service

issue by performing following tasks:

sudo nano /etc/init.d/mongod

then copy and paste the content from this url and save it (you can use vim or any other text editor)

After that give executable permission

sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/mongod

Now you will be able to start the service by following command

sudo service mongod start
