1. Check the Release

[root@mongotest ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.7 (Santiago)

2. Check the platrom, Here in my case it is 64 bit.

[root@mongotest ~]# uname -ix86_64

3. Create Repo for mongoDB 3.x.

[root@mongotest ~]# vi /etc/yum.repos.d/mongodb-org-3.0.repo
[mongodb-org-3.0]
name=MongoDB Repositorybaseurl=https://repo.mongodb.org/yum/redhat/$releasever/mongodb-org/3.0/x86_64/gpgcheck=0enabled=1
[root@mongotest ~]#

4. Install mongoDB.

[root@mongotest ~]# yum install -y mongodb-org

5. Check SELinux status. If not disabled,  disable it or  accept the communication  at port 27017. In my case i've disabled SELinux.

semanage port -a -t mongod_port_t -p tcp 27017
[root@mongotest ~]# sestatus
SELinux status:                 disabled
[root@mongotest ~]#

6. Before starting mongoDB, change the DB server IP. Otherwise it'll bind to loopback address.

[root@mongotest ~]# vi /etc/mongod.conf
[root@mongotest ~]# grep -i bind /etc/mongod.conf
#  bindIp: 127.0.0.1  
# Listen to local interface only, comment to listen on all interfaces.  
bindIp: 192.168.0.4

7. Strat the Service.

service mongod start

8. Make it Persistent.

 chkconfig mongod on

9. Check the Logs
