Answer 1

Of course, i think you would say Grails 2.4.0. Ok Here is my DataSource.groovy for mongodb:

environments {
    development {
    grails {
        mongo {
            host = "10.0.11.243"
            port = 27017
            username = "username"
            password = "userpassword"
            databaseName = "yourdb"
            options {
                autoConnectRetry = true
                connectTimeout = 300
            }
        }
    }
}
}

You must create a DB in mongo and a user that can access to it.

Answer 2

What name have you used for the database? Note the following line from the error:

Message: Error creating bean with name 'mongoDatastore': 
FactoryBean threw exception on object creation; nested exception is 
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: **Database name** must only contain letters, numbers, underscores and dashes!

Somewhere in the config you've either entered an invalid database name or not set one at all. Check the values in DataSource.groovy.
