  1. If you have existing data files you cannot change settings which affect the layout of data on disk (like directoryPerDB or directoryForIndexes).

    This is indicated in the error message in your startup log:

    InvalidOptions: Requested option conflicts with current storage engine option for directoryPerDB; you requested true but the current server storage is already set to false and cannot be changed, terminating

    To change this option for existing deployments, you need to either mongodump and mongorestore your data (for a standalone deployment) or do a rolling upgrade via replication (for a replica set deployment).

    See the documentation for diretoryPerDB for steps on how to change this option for existing standalone or replica set deployments.
