Whenever I try to use start mongo db using the command "mongo" it shows me the following error. I have removed the mongod.lock file from the /var/mongo/ directory but still I am facing this error.

    MongoDB shell version: 2.4.8
    connecting to: test
    Fri May  2 11:36:02.667 Error: couldn't connect to server 127.0.0.1:27017 at                src/mongo/shell/mongo.js:145
    exception: connect failed.

Can anyone suggest me some steps to restart my mongo db.

You mongod server might not be running or may be running on a different port.

Look for mongod info here: http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/program/mongod/.

Also check if you can do a ping using command line.

ping 127.0.0.1:27017
