MongoDB on a Windows 7 machine: No connection could be made

Question

After I have started Mongo using mongod.exe on a Windows 7 machine, I tried to start the mongo shell that failed with the error:

Failed to connect to

Answer 1

it prompted me like this

1)So, i created a path

C:\data\db

2)Now run

mongod in your terminal

it solved me issue!

Answer 2

Open task manager, click on the services tabs on the top. From the list right click on mongoDB then click start.

Answer 3

I got this error beacuse of not sufficient space in the disk. Check your mongo log.

Answer 4

I am not sure if there is a better way to run it. For me, I use these settings to create a directory and to a determinate new path for the MongoDB. The important thing for me is that I miss to run it as a server (mongod) and after that into another terminal I type mongo which provide me an option to use the database. I hope this could help someone.

Answer 5

I got the same error and fixed it with:

1) mkdir c:\data

2) cd data

3) mongod -dbpath .

4) Now in another command window I was able to connect from my client using the mongo command.

Answer 6

I got this problem. What fixed mine is:

1. Suppose you have a dir: "C:\mongo_databse"

2. Open Command Prompt and type (suppose you haved added the Mongo bin directory to PATH): mongod --dbpath=C:/mongo_database. There will be some log to the command prompt.

3. Now open ANOTHER command prompt then type in mongo then it works.
