Getting latest mongo version for Ubuntu 11.04 64 bit

[mcoolin]

I tried to follow the instructions at: http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Ubuntu+and+Debian+packages

But I get an error when I add "deb http://downloads-distro.mongodb.org/repo/ubuntu-upstart dist 10gen"

Failed to fetch http://downloads-distro.mongodb.org/repo/ubuntu-upstart/dists/dist/Release  Unable to find expected entry '10gen/source/Sources' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)

Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

Are there more up to date instructions?

Am I doing something wrong?

Just go to the download page and download stable, extract it to a Linux directory, make a deamon to load and your done.

In fact you don't need a deamon if you want it to not load at startup you can just run:

./mongo-1.6.x(whatever)/bin/mongod

Otherwise just make a deamon to load that deamon.

So to recap:

1. Go here: http://www.mongodb.org/downloads and download the one that matches your linux distro.
2. Extract to a directory (home folder will do)
3. Run by entering: ./mongo-1.6.x(whatever)/bin/mongod
4. Open Shell by running: ./mongo-1.6.x(whatever)/bin/mongo

Done.

It looks like the link is bad.

Well I have it now. But it did not replace the 1.6.3 version. It does need to run with some parameters otherwise I get an error.

It still looks like the old version :((

[Sam Millman]

ah make a new folder where it says: /data/db/

Then sudo the command to open mongo again

Sorry forgot about that

[Sam Millman]

You can also change the db path to somewhere you dont have to sudo to by doing: --dbpath=./data (It might have an underscore, can't remember).

"Sat May 14 07:21:00 MongoDB starting : pid=11956 port=27017 dbpath=/data/db/ 64-bit

Oh thats weird.

hmmm...

Are you sure mongod runs the one in that folder and not the global mognod which is your old db?

try: "sudo ./mongod" in that folder after making a new db folder then we know whether or not it is the install or the Db files.
