When I try to run mongod from the terminal, I get the following error:
2014-07-02T23:56:24.797-0700 [initandlisten] ERROR: listen(): bind() failed errno:48 Address already in use for socket: 0.0.0.0:27017 2014-07-02T23:56:24.797-0700 [initandlisten] ERROR: addr already in use
I recently realize that I have two versions of MongoDB on my Mac, and think this may be the source for the above error. (Plus, I do not need two version.) I tried Googling, but was not able to find clear directions on how I can uninstall. I have development version 2.7.0 AND 2.6.3.
Thanks so much in advance for the help!

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.
Once you are assured that your MongoDb directory has all the required permissions, open the terminal application on your Mac and type the command, ~/mongodb/bin/mongod to start the Mongo Server. In another terminal window, type the command ~/mongodb/bin/mongo in order to start the Mongo Shell.
Run the following commands to remove mongodb from the launch/startup and to uninstall it using Homebrew:
# See if mongo is in the launch/startup list launchctl list | grep mongo # Remove mongodb from the launch/startup launchctl remove homebrew.mxcl.mongodb # Kill the mongod process just in case it's running pkill -f mongod # Now you can safely remove mongodb using Homebrew brew uninstall mongodb Just double-check in /usr/local/bin/ to make sure that the mongodb commands are removed.
