Firstly, run service mongod status

It should return mongod is stopped.

Now look in your mongo folder. There is probably a mongod.lock file in there. The only times I've seen this file created is when the power cord gets yanked out.

Remove the mongod.lock file:sudo rm mongod.lock

Start the service:sudo service mongod start

Take a look in the logs. Why do you think it dosen't started? Its a demon process, it runs in the background.

service mongod status
