In my particular instance, I was connected to a VPN and that was blocking the localhost connection to MongoDB somehow. It worked when I disconnected my VPN. It's a special case, but good to know nonetheless. So anything impeding your network connectivity, Get that fixed.

For Windows users.

This happens because the MondgDB server is stopped. to fix this you can,

1. 1 search for Services ,for that search using the left bottom corner search option.

   2 then there is a gear icon named with 'Services'.

   3 after clicking that you will get a window with lot of services

   4 scroll down and you will find 'MongoDB server (MongoDB)'.

   5 so you will see that there is an option to start the service.

   6 start it.

2. 1 then open your command prompt.

   2 type mongod

now you can connect to your server.

this steps also working fine if your sql server service down. (find sql server services)

Answer 6

This happened probably because the MongoDB service isn't started. Follow the below steps to start it:

1. Go to Control Panel and click on Administrative Tools.
2. Double click on Services. A new window opens up.
3. Search MongoDB.exe. Right click on it and select Start.

The server will start. Now execute npm start again and the code might work this time.
