title: Running replication on Mongo DB issues
body: <p>I am new to mongo and am trying the code example given in the tutorail on Mongo site but am facing the issue below. According to the tutorial it should be fairly simple.
  But i am getting  --replSet error even though I have given it while creating a host. I am developing on a standalone machine with fedora linux.
  Also can some one tell me how do I reset/remove the host once they are assigned.</p>
