It is, for me, impossible to start Meteor on ONE specific computer we have. On all the others, it's fine. It's running
Linux ip-10-2-103-74 3.13.0-45-generic #74-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jan 13 19:36:28 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
and Meteor 1.0.4.1
Nothing is running on the ports I use. The ports are open and available. I use a different port every time (random) to rule out any zombie stuff claming these ports. I have chmod'ed everything to 777 (and also tried running with sudo) to rule out any permission issues.
Attempt 1:
$ meteor create fresh_project
$ cd fresh_project
$ meteor --port 3863
fresh_project: created.
To run your new app:
cd fresh_project
meteor
[[[[[ ~/tests/fresh_project ]]]]]
=> Started proxy.

Unexpected mongo exit code 48. Restarting.
Can't start Mongo server.
MongoDB exited because its port was closed, or was already
taken by a previous instance of MongoDB
Check for other processes listening on port 3863
or other Meteor instances running in the same project.
The stand-alone mongodb, by the way, complains about a lot of stuff

changing the port there does not help either. Killing it entirely and removing mongodb with purge, reinstalling meteor, creating a fresh project, none of that does the trick. I have probably tried every step in every bug report I could find.

However, the app is inaccessible both from the computer itself, and naturally also from the outside world.
