Treehouse TeacherIt means you need to adjust the permissions on the data/db directory so that the mongod instance can read and write to it.

Ken Alger
Treehouse TeacherIt really depends on your operating system. But search for the data/db directory on your hard drive and then make sure that you set the permissions to allow reads and writes to it.
