I'm trying to get Mongo running.
I installed the package manager Homebrew
I then used the commands located on the Mongo site:
$ brew update
$ brew install mongodb
This appeared to install correctly.
I typed mongo in a new terminal window and got the following error:
MongoDB shell version: 2.0.1
connecting to: test
Thu Dec 15 09:37:25 Error: couldn't connect to server 127.0.0.1 shell/mongo.js:84
exception: connect failed
So I then followed the instructions found on here
Ran mongod and this is the result:
mongod --help for help and startup options

Notice there was an exception with "initAndListen" then it shutdown.
What am I doing wrong? How can I fix this installation and get Mongo up and running?
