Cannot connect to mongodb errno:61 Connection refused

Question

I recently installed mongodb-2.6.0 with Homebrew. After successfully installed, I tried to connect using the mongo command. I am receiving the following errors

Answer 1

I had the same issue and in looking in the log file I saw this:

{2019-03-09T11:57:32.136-0500 I STORAGE  [initandlisten] 
exception in initAndListen: NonExistentPath: 
Data directory /usr/local/var/mongodb not found., terminating}

so I created the directory /usr/local/var/mongodb issued the brew services restart mongodb command I was able to open the mongo console.
