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         


        

Answer 1

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
