Failed to connect to 127.0.0.1:27017, reason: errno:111 Connection refused

Question

while trying this mongo command in ubuntu I am getting this error.

    ritzysystem@ritzysystem-Satellite-L55-A:~$ mongo
    MongoDB shell version: 2.6.1
             


        

Answer 1

I understand the question is with regards to Ubuntu.

But if you're getting the same error on a Mac and don't want $ sudo mongod running on a separate tab, you can do the following to fix the connection error, if you have Homebrew -

brew services start mongodb

Based on the answer from this thread - Cannot connect to mongodb errno:61 Connection refused
