mongo - couldn't connect to server 127.0.0.1:27017

Question

I am coming from riak and redis where I never had an issue with this services starting, or to interact.

This is a pervasive problem with mongo and am rather clueless

Answer 1

The cause by me was the space - run this in the console:

df -h

or more specifically:

du -hs /var/lib/mongodb/ 

to check he disk usage. If it's ~ 99% - just clean up some space and try again!
