  1. My only suggestion would be to check you're using the correct version (32-bit vs 64-bit). The link provided in the tutorial is 64-bit, which won't work if you're using a 32-bit machine.

  2. This is probably caused by an invalid installation. Follow the following steps on ubuntu to install Mongodb properly:

    sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv 7F0CEB10
echo "deb http://downloads-distro.mongodb.org/repo/ubuntu-upstart dist 10gen" | sudo tee --append /etc/apt/sources.list.d/10gen.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mongodb-10gen

    With this, you can now start your local mongo instance. Make sure to update your config file to change your data directory to where you want to have the DB files stored.
