All you need to do is open 2 terminal tabs. In one, run

mongod

which starts the MongoDB server.

In the other, run

mongo

which is the shell that connects to your MongoDB server.

why not install mongodb from 10gen's own debian repository? much easier and more likely to work

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

To see if mongodb is running, this also helps:

sudo service mongodb status

if it is running, and you still get the same error, then it must be the weird localhost bug that mongodb has. it assumes localhost is 127.0.1.1 for some reason. try 

mongo 127.0.1.1

It looks like MongoDB isn't running. Can you connect to the web interface in your browser?

http://localhost:28017

Also, do you see the process running on your machine? You should see an entry for mongod when running ...

$ top

or

$ ps aux
