Question

I m using NodeJS wih MongoDB using mongodb package  When I run mongod command it works fine and gives  quot waiting for connection on port 27017 quot   So  mongod seems to be working  But MongoClient does not work and gives error when I run node index js command- MongoError  failed to connect to server  localhost 27017  on first connect  MongoError  connect ECONNREFUSED 127 0 0 1 27017    I have install mongo db 3 4 and my code is- var MongoClient   require  mongodb   MongoClient  var dburl            quot mongodb   localhost 27017 test quot   MongoClient connect dburl  function err  db      if  err        throw err        console log  db connected      db close         I have created data db directories on root and given write permissions  mongod conf file takes db path as- storage  dbPath   var lib mongo But it seems that it is actually taking db path as data db and not var lib mongo It working earlier but suddenly stopped

Try to start mongoDB server by giving the --dbpath with mongod.

sudo mongod --dbpath /var/lib/mongo/data/db &

'&' in the last will start the mongodb server as service on your server.

Hope it Works.

Please ensure that your mongo DB is set Automatic and running at Control Panel Administrative Tools Services like below  That way you wont have to start mongod exe manually each time

most probably your mongo db service is not started   For ubuntu    sudo service mongod start For windows   go to services and start the MongoDB service  also install link for mondoDB service https   www mongodb com download-center community  I had this problem and i solved it thanks to this man s answer https   stackoverflow com a 47433551 7917608

For Windows users  This happens because the MondgDB server is stopped  to fix this you can   1 search for Services  for that search using the left bottom corner search option  2 then there is a gear icon named with  Services   3 after clicking that you will get a window with lot of services 4 scroll down and you will find  MongoDB server  MongoDB    5 so you will see that there is an option to start the service  6 start it   1 then open your command prompt  2 type mongod   now you can connect to your server  this steps also working fine if your sql server service down   find sql server services

For windows - just go to Mongodb folder   ex   C  ProgramFiles MongoDB Server 3 4 bin  and open cmd in the folder and type  mongod exe --dbpath c  data db   if c  data db folder doesn t exist then create it by yourself and run above command again   All should work fine by now

User · Answer

because you didn t start mongod process before you try starting mongo shell  Start mongod server mongod  Open another terminal window Start mongo shell mongo

On a mac I had to run brew services start mongodb-community 4 4 Check  Install MongoDB Community Edition on macOS

User · Answer

This happened probably because the MongoDB service isn t started  Follow the below steps to start it    Go to Control Panel and click on Administrative Tools  Double click on Services  A new window opens up  Search MongoDB exe  Right click on it and select Start     The server will start  Now execute npm start again and the code might work this time

I was having the same problem today   and has been searching for answers   I am on Ubuntu    however  I could not find the correct one that works on this thread   after much research the following worked for me finally      First  after running mongod dbpath  if appeared that mongodb was looking for the data db directory   which was missing in my installed mongodb app   so I ran the following commands    sudo mkdir -p  data db  then run    sudo chown -R  USER  data db  chown - changes ownership of files dirs  Ie  owner of the file dir changes to the specified one  but it doesn t modify permissions  As detailed here  https   unix stackexchange com questions 402062 how-are-chown-and-chmod-command-different-in-the-given-operation Finally  run    sudo systemctl enable mongod service  It will give a message  Created symlink  etc systemd system multi-user target wants mongod service    lib systemd system mongod service and started the service

If you already installed  quot MongoDB quot   if you accidentally exit from the MongoDB server  then  quot restart your system quot   This method solved me     On Windows only  And also another method is there  press  Windows   R  type  services msc  and click  quot ok quot   it opens  quot services quot  window  and then search for  quot MongoDB Server quot  in the list  After you find  quot MongoDB Server quot   right-click and choose  quot start quot  from the pop-up menu  The MongoDb Server will start running  Hope it works
