Unable to start Deployd (MongoDB failed to start)

Question

I am new to Deployd, and am trying to open the dashboard. I started by creating a basic hello-world project folder:

$ cd hello-world

...then ran the following to view the dashboard:

$ dpd-d

However, I am getting the following error:

vaibhav@vaibhav:/hello-world$ dpd -d
   starting deployd v0.8.4...
   Failed to start MongoDB (Make sure 'mongod' are in your $PATH or use dpd    --mongod option. Ref: http://docs.deployd.com/docs/basics/cli.html)

fs.js:432
  return binding.open(pathModule._makeLong(path), stringToFlags(flags), mode);
                 ^

What am I doing wrong?

To check if mongodb is properly installed:

If you are in iOS or Linux you can try:

sudo dpd

If you are in Windows try opening a command window with "Run as Administrator" and try:

dpd

First, ensure you have mongodb installed and you can call it from commandline: On Unix,

which mongod

On Windows,

where mongod

Once you're sure that's available, ensure you have read-write access to your deployed project directory, sub-directories and files: On Unix,

sudo chmod -R 0777 /path/to/deployd/project/directory

I don't think this problem applies to Windows OS.

After that, try to start your project dashboard again.

dpd dashboard
