Hi,
I installed mongodb successfully on my ubuntu 12.04. It was working perfectly fine. Next day when i opened and thought to learn more i am not able to start mongo shell.
It says connection failed.
i am attaching the screen for the issue i am facing.
Please revert me with a solution. I am new to mongodb and have installed it yesterday only. i want to learn this as this seems an interesting topic.

thanks in advance,

Your screenshot shows you ran the command to start it correctly. I would do a "ps aux | grep mongod" to see if it is still running, and check  /var/log/mongodb/mongodb.log for any errors.
