meteor is not starting - mongodb

I am having problems with launching Meteor examples.
That is what i get when I type meteor in application folder
[[[[[ ~/parties ]]]]]
Unexpected mongo exit code 100. Restarting.
Unexpected mongo exit code 100. Restarting.
Unexpected mongo exit code 100. Restarting.
Can't start mongod
MongoDB had an unspecified uncaught exception.
Check to make sure that MongoDB is able to write to its database directory.
I have already tried meteor reset and removing .meteor/local/db/mongo.lock - nothing changes
I tried typing mongod
mongod --help for help and startup options

I am using Ubuntu 12.04 (VPS) if it matters

According to your logs the reason of mongod couldn't start is in wrong LC_ALL locale value. Try to execute "export LC_ALL=C" before you start mongod. Related issue in bugtracker

Mongodb error on starting

When i start mongo db it instantly crashes and goes back to the normal command line. I am on Mac runing the MEAN stack if that helps. Below is the error:

Thanks,

First of all, look for other instances of mongod running on the system using the age-old command:
ps ax | grep mongod
If you see a line like -
98555 ?? S 4:40.89 mongod --dbpath /Volumes/ComputerName/data/db
-PID- -name- -------------path------------
then there is a mongod process running already. If so kill it and then start mongod again.
To kill a process with PID = 0000, in Unix like environment use -
kill -9 0000
If your console returns something like, -bash: kill: (98555) - Operation not permitted, use
sudo !!
to repeat the command as super user. This should get you going.
PS: If you haven't stored any data in your db yet, delete /data and then create the /data/db directory again. Do a sudo mongod and it should work.
I had the same issue, and this one liner fix my issue
killall mongod
Run the above command inside your Terminal
Hope that helps!
I first opened the /data/db/mongod.lock file, found my process number there, then killed it with kill -9 <processnumber>. That worked for me.

Mongo service doesn't connect

I just did a manual installation of mongoDB like the documentation says and when I run ./mongocommand this is what I get.
./mongo
MongoDB shell version: 2.4.8
connecting to: test
It doesn't say anymore and doesn't connect to testdatabase.
Anyone know how can I solve this problem?
Thank's in advance
EDIT: I uninstall all and re-install using Brew. Now this is what I get when I run mongod
all output going to: /usr/local/var/log/mongodb/mongo.log
And this when i run mongo

First of all, have you actually started the "mongod" server process?
If you have, you need to find out what is happening and one way to do this is with the "strace" tool. Running it like follows creates a log file in /tmp/strace.log and that should tell you system level wise what's going on:
strace -o /tmp/strace.log ./mongo

EDIT! ( trying suggestions from answers)
running $ mongod --repair gives the following error:
$ mongod --repair
Wed Jul 24 15:16:51.596 Can't specify both --journal and --repair options.
Run the following command first to start the mongo server
mongod run --config /usr/local/etc/mongod.conf
Assuming you installed mongo using Brew.
More information about the mongod process here
EDIT
Try to repair mongo using :
mongod --repair
Seems to have issues with permissions also, try using sudo to start mongod
You need to make sure that you've actually started the server. It doesn't seem to be running here.

You're running the mongo client without starting the server first. Try running mongod first.
You'll have to specify where the mongo "workspace" is using the --dbpath switch, such as mongod --dbpath /mongo/db. The specified folder should exist.
By default mongod will try to use the directory /data/db for the database files.
In your case that directory does not exist.
Before starting mongod you should create those directories and make sure they are writable by the same user that is running mongod process.
I deleted /data/db/mongod.lock to solve the problem.
I had the same issue on my mac. Try,
sudo chown -R id -u /data/db
Then start the daemon specifying your dbpath /data/db, as in bdares post above. This worked for me.
