I have installed MongoDB on a local machine by following this tutorial and this one as well. I used my local user (using sudo in all commands) and then I do:
sudo service mongod start
It says start: Job is already running: mongod
. Then when I run this command
sudo mongo
I get
MongoDB shell version: 2.6.0
connecting to: test
2014-07-08T12:33:40.360+0200 warning: Failed to connect to 127.0.0.1:27017, reason: errno:113 No route to host

THis is also the output of netstat -tpln
(No info could be read for "-p": geteuid()=1000 but you should be root.)

I have followed several proposed solutions and never worked. Any suggestions?

This is most likely a firewall issue in your distro. Based on the output from
iptables
the mongod process is there listening to27017
port but you need to get rid of this firewall rule:This seems to cause of the problem. To find out about it, flush the rules in
iptables
(-F
) and/or disablingufw
in ubuntu may solve the issue.
