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

It is possible that the data directory for mongo specified in /etc/mongod.conf is not a valid path.

Try rechecking the path if it really exists sudo vi /etc/mongod.conf and check dbPath.
