Cannot access mongodb through browser - It looks like you are trying to access MongoDB over HTTP on the native driver port

Question

I open terminal and enter the following commands  sudo mongod   which then outputs   initandlisten  waiting for connections on port 27017   I open another terminal and enter  sudo mongo   which open the mongo shell and prompts for mongo commands  but when I go to localhost 27017 I receive the following message   It looks like you are trying to access MongoDB over HTTP on the native driver port    I created a simple nodejs application using express and when I POST data it seems the mongodb gets hung up  This is the message which I receive in the terminal in which I start my express application and the page never posts the data  So I believe the problem lies within mongo but I cannot figure it out    POST  info 200 120002ms   Here is my express code  var Info   require     models info    var path   require  path    var fs   require  fs    var join   path join   exports form   function req res        res render  info             myName   Michael              exports submit   function    console log  Within exports submit 1        return function req res next           console log  Within exports submit 2             var firstName   req name first          var lastName   req name last          Info create               firstName  firstName              lastName  lastName           function err               if err  return next err                res redirect                             Model  var mongoose   require  mongoose    mongoose connect  mongodb   localhost info     var schema   new mongoose Schema       firstName  String      lastName  String      module exports   mongoose model  info  schema     app js       app get   info  info form   app post   info  info submit

Like the previous comment mention  the message  It looks like you are trying to access MongoDB over HTTP on the native driver port   its a warning because you are missunderstanding this line  mongoose connect  mongodb   localhost info    and browsing this url  http   localhost 28017   However  if you want to see the mongo s admin web page  you could do it  with this command   mongod --rest --httpinterface  browsing this url  http   localhost 28017   the parameter httpinterface activate the admin web page  and the parameter rest its needed for activate the rest services the page require

MongoDB has a simple web based administrative port at 28017 by default   There is no HTTP access at the default port of 27017  which is what the error message is trying to suggest   The default port is used for native driver access  not HTTP traffic   To access MongoDB  you ll need to use a driver like the MongoDB native driver for NodeJS  You won t  POST  to MongoDB directly  but you might create a RESTful API using express which uses the native drivers   Instead  you ll use a wrapper library that makes accessing MongoDB convenient  You might also consider using Mongoose  which uses the native driver  which adds an ORM-like model for MongoDB in NodeJS   If you can t get to the web interface  it may be disabled  Normally  I wouldn t expect that you d need it for doing development unless you re checking logs and such

I am in ubuntu 14 04 and mongod is registered as an upstart service  The answers in this post sent me in the right direction  The only adaptation I had to do to make things work with the upstart service was to edit  etc mongod conf  Look for the lines that read     Enable the HTTP interface  Defaults to port 28017     httpinterface   true   Just remove the   in front of httpinterface and restart the mongod service   sudo restart mongod      Note  You can also enable the rest interface by adding a line that reads rest true right below the httpinterface line mentioned above

Before Mongo 3 6   You may start mongodb with   mongod --httpinterface   And access it on  http   localhost 28017   Since version 2 6  MongoDB disables the HTTP interface by default   Update     HTTP Interface and REST API      MongoDB 3 6 removes the deprecated HTTP interface and REST API to   MongoDB    See Mongo http interface and rest api
