I've installed mongodb on centos 7, but I can't start the service with systemctl.
Running mongod starts successfully.
I've followed all the instructions from here: https://mongoing.com/docs/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-red-hat.html
systemctl status mongod returns this:

There is a line in /var/log/mongodb/mongod.log , that I think might be important:

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
I didn't change anything in mongod.conf and mongod.service. This is a fully fresh install.
Steps I've tried:
touch /var/run/mongodb/mongod.pid
chown mongod:mongod/var/run/mongodb/mongod.pid
- I've checked every path with mongo in it, and they have the right privileges. (mongod:mongod)
- Checked that SELinux is disabled.
- Allowed 27017 in ufw.
EDIT
/var/run/mongodb has every rwx.
I'm logged in as root
