Package: mongodb-clients Version: 2.4.10-1+b1 I've installed Debian 7 armHF for UDOO, then I added the debian testing and unstable repos to be able to install mongodb. The packages I installed was mongodb, mongodb-dev, mongodb-server and mongodb-clients (all the same version).
In the first terminal I started `mongod`: debian@udoo-debian-hfp:~$ mongod mongod --help for help and startup options Sat Jun 21 11:53:34.714 Sat Jun 21 11:53:34.715 warning: 32-bit servers don't have journaling enabled by default.

Specifying 127.0.0.1, localhost or the IP on the local LAN doesn't work either. However, I've set up a dynamic dns alias for the device, and if I use that, it works. So it seems to be an issue with mongo realizing that it is connecting to localhost and trying to use some other method of connecting to the server (sockets?). I were using a clean Debian 7 armHF for UDOO install on my UDOO quad device. I gave up on mongodb for now and installed another OS to see if that helps, so unfortunately I can't give more specific kernel versions etc. See also https://github.com/meteor/meteor/issues/442 Jostein
