You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  libboost-dev: Depends: libboost1.49-dev but it is not installable
  mongodb: Depends: mongodb-dev but it is not going to be installed
           Depends: mongodb-server (>= 1:2.4.1-2) but it is not going to be installed
  mongodb-10gen: Conflicts: mongodb but 1:2.4.3-1 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

 4.1) Install any dependencies that your previous installs missed.
in our above command, installation not succeed because of missing dependencies mongodb-dev & mongodb-server. issue the blow command to install those depends.  

root@boss[bin]#apt-get -f install

5) Know the location of config file

root@boss[bin]#ps -ef | grep mongo
mongodb  14603     1  0 10:53 ?        00:00:00 /usr/bin/mongod --config /etc/mongodb.conf
root     14655 18627  0 10:54 pts/3    00:00:00 grep mongo

also use 
5.1)Get the running instance of mongoDB

root@boss[bin]#ps -A | grep mongo 
 14603 ?        00:00:00 mongod

 5.2) Get the binary executable location of mongoDB

root@boss[bin]#whereis mongo 
 mongo: /usr/bin/mongo /usr/share/man/man1/mongo.1.gz

 by issuing above command we can come to know, the 

1. mongo server running on PID 14603
2. All binary file available under /usr/bin directory.
3. config file under /etc/mongodb.conf

6) Controlling mangoDB
starting  mongoDB

root@boss[bin]#/etc/init.d/mongodb strat

get the status

root@boss[bin]#/etc/init.d/mongodb status 
 Checking status of database: mongodb running..

stopping mongoDB

root@boss[bin]#/etc/init.d/mongodb stop 
 Stopping database: mongodb.

7) Running mongo

root@boss[bin]#mongo
