title: Meteor.js MongoDB access?
body: <p>I am new to Mongo and Meteor. </p>
  
  <p>I have installed Meteor on Mac OSX 10.8, and I have created a new Meteor app using a collection called 'Fillup'.</p>
  
  <p>I am going through some tutorials about Mongo, and I am trying to learn the shell commands, but none of them are working.</p>
  
  <p>I want to use Mongo command line to view and manipulate the collection I have going in my Meteor app.</p>
  
  <p>I installed Mongo seperately after Meteor, and I think Meteor might me using a different 'copy' of Mongo, because now when I try 'mongo' I get :</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ mongo
  MongoDB shell version: 2.4.5
  connecting to: test
  Sun Jul 28 14:25:33.055 JavaScript execution failed: Error: couldn't connect to server 127.0.0.1:27017 at src/mongo/shell/mongo.js:L112
  exception: connect failed
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Whether Meteor is running or not, and Meteor works fine.</p>
