service mongod start on debian doesnt work

Question

I created a instance of linux debian on Google Compute Engine.

I Install git, node.js, python and some other things without problems

But when I install mong

Answer 1

I had to download without apt-get install, and install the deb package separatly.

Before install the package, I run this commands..

export LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
sudo locale-gen en_US.UTF-8
sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales

And that was all, now I have mongodb running in my debian machine.

Thanks.

If you are seeing this kind of error log in the apt-get log of mongodb-org:

Package mongodb-org-server is not configured yet.

This maybe related to the GCE debian image bug with the locale https://github.com/andsens/bootstrap-vz/issues/49

So a way around this is to do:

export LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
sudo locale-gen en_US.UTF-8
sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales

The dpkg-reconfigure command will open a dialog for selecting the desires locales. Just select generate all, then choose e_US.UTF-8

Then you can follow the steps in :

http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-debian/

As you have probably have done before.

This worked for me in gce debian-7 image today.
