Issue was with the connection to the database  it could be due to several reasons  For me it was low disk space on my server machine  and when mongo tries to connect it refuse because of low disk  check your server machine local storage with du -sh if you have low storage space  check your logs size and take step accordingly  issue may exist because of dbpath contradict in  etc mongod conf and server actually running dbpath with mongod If you are facing such type of issue  please check my answer in the given link below  https   stackoverflow com a 53057695 8247133

It is possible that the data directory for mongo specified in  etc mongod conf is not a valid path   Try rechecking the path if it really exists sudo vi  etc mongod conf and check dbPath

In my case the error was due to missing  data db folder which the mongodb uses to store your  data  Please type this command  sudo mongod  in your terminal  If the error message is something like    missing data db folder error  Simply create the folder and you are good to go

Just some thoughts on my case   If you have changed the dbPath and logPath dirs to your custom values  say  data mongodb data   data mongodb log   you must chown them to mongodb user  otherwise  the non-existent  data db  dir will be used   sudo chown -R mongodb mongodb  data mongodb   sudo service mongod restart

For macOS many of the answers are already outdated according to official docs  Somehow the brew has changed and how we should install MongoDB  firstly uninstall it from your macOS  even though it might be not necessary  and then install it using these steps   brew tap mongodb brew brew install mongodb-community 4 4 brew services start mongodb-community 4 4  Watch out for the 4 4 part  it ll change  If in the future it would break then refer to the official docs and install the version  which is suggested in the linked tutorial
