Hrm, I wonder if mongo has an objection to running as root? Was this the case with the prior installation? It is better to have it as a dedicated user.

the weird thing is there's nothing new in var/log/mongo.log at all
<isd>
Yeah, that is indeed weird.
<spyjoshx>
and no, everything worked fine on the old install. Could this be an issue with going from Ubuntu to regular Debian?
<isd>
I'm pretty sure that shouldn't matter -- Sandstorm is pretty self contained and debian is definitely being used by plenty of people
<isd>
And the permissions on the log file look ok?
<spyjoshx>
these are the contents of mongo.log, but they haven't changed the last few times I tried to start sandstorm
