I tried deleting mongod.lock file... I ran mongod --repair.. I also changed permissions to mongod.lock file.

but nothing seems to work.. it keeps showing the same error.. what should i do.?

I also have installed git version 1.7.4.1 but it shows nogitversion in error..

Try:

sudo service mongod stop
sudo mongod

To stop current active mongodb service, allowing you to then start a new one
