I have just installed Meteor version 0.5.9 (45fef52095) to my CentOS release 6.3 (Final) server (Linux version 2.6.32-279.19.1.el6.i686 (mockbuild@c6b8.bsys.dev.centos.org)
I'm running meteor under Vagrant and came across this issue, before finding this thread I removed my MongoDB files from /var/lib/mongodb
as there was a .lock
in there as well, this might or might not have been required but worth a look for other areas where MongoDB might be residing beside the .meteor
folder.
