mongo - couldn't connect to server 127.0.0.1:27017

Question

I am coming from riak and redis where I never had an issue with this services starting, or to interact.

This is a pervasive problem with mongo and am rather clueless

Answer 1

In my case:

First I open config file

sudo vi /etc/mongodb.conf

Comment IP and Port like this

#bind_ip = 127.0.0.1
#port = 27017

Then restart mongodb

sudo service mongodb restart
sudo service mongod restart

Finally, it's work :D

finn@Finn ~ $ mongo
MongoDB shell version: 2.4.9
