Question

while trying this mongo command in ubuntu I am getting this error.

    ritzysystem@ritzysystem-Satellite-L55-A:~$ mongo
    MongoDB shell version: 2.6.1
             


        

Answer 1

In my case the error was due to missing /data/db folder which the mongodb uses to store your data. Please type this command $sudo mongod in your terminal. If the error message is something like :

missing data/db folder error

Simply create the folder and you are good to go.
