MongoDB on Ubuntu 10.x

The current default seems to have a few issue with ubuntu 10.x - instead it is recommend to use the following :

http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Ubuntu+and+Debian+packages

Notes:

1. Make sure that your data folders are created, by default it's "/data/db" and are chown by mongodb or the user who is running the server

sudo mkdir /data/db
sudo chown `id -u` /data/db

2. If all has installed correctly then start the server :

/usr/bin/mongod

3. Open a new Terminal and then type 'mongo'. This shoud now give you the mongo interactive shell.

If you get this :

MongoDB shell version: 1.8.2
connecting to: test
Error: couldn't connect to server 127.0.0.1 shell/mongo.js:79
exception: connect failed

It means that 'mongod' i.e. the actual mongodb server is not running.
