MongoDB cannot start server: The default storage engine ‘wiredTiger’ is not available with this build of mongod

Well… There appears to be a version conflict: you are probably running a 32bit version of Mongo. Just do as they say and actually use the other default storage engine:

Write the command as follows in your Mongo/bin directory:

mongod --storageEngine=mmapv1 --dbpath [your-path]

Should solve the problem. I guess you don’t quite mind about using the good old mmapv1 instead of wiredTiger do you?
