I'm using Mac Lion. I was using mongodb version 1.4. I wanted to upgrade to 1.8.5 and I followed http://shiftcommathree.com/articles/how-to-install-mongodb-on-os-x step wise replacing each mongodb-osx-x86_64-1.4.0 by mongodb-osx-x86_64-1.8.5. Everything goes smooth. I tried:
mongod it's ok. I can access localhost:28017 but,
mongo shows command not found
How can I fix this?

To correct this issue, you can delete the file sudo rm /tmp/mongodb-27017. lock and then start the mongod process once more, which will recreate the file.
Run the Mongo daemon, in one terminal window run ~/mongodb/bin/mongod . This will start the Mongo server. Run the Mongo shell, with the Mongo daemon running in one terminal, type ~/mongodb/bin/mongo in another terminal window. This will run the Mongo shell which is an application to access data in MongoDB.
To open up the MongoDB shell, run the mongo command from your server prompt. By default, the mongo command opens a shell connected to a locally-installed MongoDB instance running on port 27017 . Try running the mongo command with no additional parameters: mongo.
You need to add the path to "mongo" to your terminal shell.
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/mongodb/bin Did you do the last step with paths.d? If so, try restarting your terminals.
Do you have a good reason for using 1.8.5? The current stable is 2.0.4, and it has many useful upgrades from 1.8.x
