title: MongoDB data/db not found
body: <p>I do gave this path for data/db </p>
  
  <pre><code>/usr/local/Cellar/mongodb/3.2.6/data/db
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The following step was made in order to create a bound to mongodb folder</p>
  
  <pre><code>sudo mongod --directoryperdb --dbpath /usr/local/Cellar/mongodb/3.2.6/data/db --logpath /usr/local/Cellar/mongodb/3.2.6/log/mongodb.log --logappend -rest
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When initialize sudo mongod in terminal the following error appears:</p>
