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

My guess is that you do not have a running database while trying to access testing through the "mongo" command.

First run this command in terminal:

mongod 

Then open another terminal window and run:

mongo

Everything should be working now.
