I referred to many links to solve this error SEVERE: Failed global initialization: BadValue Invalid or no user locale set. Please ensure LANG and/or LC_* environment variables are set correctly..

I executed export LC_ALL=C as told in the below link

Failed global initialization: BadValue Invalid or no user locale set. Please ensure LANG and/or LC_* environment variables are set correctly

https://askubuntu.com/questions/536875/error-in-installing-mongo-in-virtual-machine

I also referred to BadValue Invalid or no user locale set. Please ensure LANG and/or LC_* environment variables are set correctly

and did the following steps, 

root@product:/# localedef -i en_US -f UTF-8 en_US.UTF-8
root@product:/# export LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8
root@product:/# export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
root@product:/# export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
root@product:/# locale-gen en_US.UTF-8
Generating locales...
  en_US.UTF-8... done
Generation complete.
root@product:/# dpkg-reconfigure locales
Generating locales...
  en_US.UTF-8... up-to-date
Generation complete.

After trying all the above steps also i still get the below error when i execute mongo command through ssh

product@product:~/docker$ sshpass -p password ssh root@172.20.71.71 'mongod --dbpath /var/lib/mongodb/ &'
2015-02-24T09:50:27.158+0000 SEVERE: Failed global initialization: BadValue Invalid or no user locale set. Please ensure LANG and/or LC_* environment variables are set correctly.

But when i execute mongod --dbpath /var/lib/mongodb/ & from within the container it works, below is the terminal output

root@product:/# mongod --dbpath /var/lib/mongodb/ &
[1] 284
root@product:/# 2015-02-24T09:56:42.108+0000 [initandlisten] MongoDB starting : pid=284 port=27017 dbpath=/var/lib/mongodb/ 64-bit host=product

If anyone knows why this is happening, I want to run it through ssh.

Probably your ssh client is trying to set those environmental variables in remote host. Edit you /etc/ssh/ssh_config commenting the line SendEnv LANG LC_*
