I have a file database.coffee containing only two lines mongoose = require('mongoose') mongoose.connect 'mongodb://localhost:27017/myDatabase'

When running coffee database.coffee I get the following output:

/SOMEPATH/node_modules/mongodb/lib/server.js:236
    process.nextTick(function() { throw err; })
                                        ^
Error: connect ECONNREFUSED
at errnoException (net.js:901:11)
at Object.afterConnect [as oncomplete] (net.js:892:19)

What could be causing this error ?

Is your local MongoDB server running and accepting connection on the `localhost` IP address? – JohnnyHK Jan 03 '16 at 15:02
@JohnnyHK, how could I check that ? – user253956 Jan 04 '16 at 08:32
Be sure you've [installed MongoDB](https://www.mongodb.org/downloads#production) first, and make sure [it's working](https://docs.mongodb.org/getting-started/shell/). – JohnnyHK Jan 04 '16 at 14:08
