MongoDB not working. "ERROR: dbpath (/data/db) does not exist."
angularjs, express, mongodb, node.js
Solution
This should work to ensure that the directory is set up in the right place so that Mongo can find it:
`sudo mkdir -p /data/db/`
`sudo chown `id -u` /data/db`
Problem
I'm getting the following error when I try to run "mongod" in the terminal. I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling, and restarting the machine. Any suggestions on how to get it working would be amazing. ERROR: ``` dbpath (/data/db) does not exist. Create this directory or give existing directory in --dbpath. See http://dochub.mongodb.org/core/startingandstoppingmongo ``` Side note: Node also stopped working on my machine around the same time that I got this error. ``` events.js:72 throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event ^ Error: failed to connect to [localhost:27017] ``` Any help would be much appreciated!
