MongoError: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:27017

Question

I'm using NodeJS wih MongoDB using mongodb package. When I run mongod command it works fine and gives "waiting for connection on port 27017". So, mongod seems to be working. But MongoClient does not work and gives error when I run node index.js command-

MongoError: failed to connect to server [localhost:27017] on first connect [MongoError: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:27017]

I have install mongo db 3.4 and my code is-

var MongoClient = require('mongodb').MongoClient;
var dburl       =   "mongodb://localhost:27017/test";
MongoClient.connect(dburl, function(err, db) {
  if (err) {
    throw err;
  }
  console.log('db connected');
  db.close();
});

I have created data/db directories on root and given write permissions. mongod.conf file takes db path as-

storage: dbPath: /var/lib/mongo

But it seems that it is actually taking db path as data/db and not var/lib/mongo

It working earlier but suddenly stopped.

Go inside location C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.4\bin and run mongod.exe and try again — chetan mekha, Oct 02 '17 at 10:16
replace localhost with 127.0.0.1 and try. not sure about the result but try and update us. and also try with running below command from terminal ,sudo service mongod start — chetan mekha, Oct 02 '17 at 10:24
I already tried this, didn't work. sudo service mongod start gives error- Starting mongod (via systemctl): Job for mongod.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status mongod.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details. — Deepika P., Oct 02 '17 at 10:26

My apps stopped working after upgrading from Node.js 14 to 17.

The error I got was:

MongoServerSelectionError: connect ECONNREFUSED ::1:27017

The solution was simply replacing localhost by 0.0.0.0. I.e. in my source code I had to change:

const uri = "mongodb://localhost:27017/";
const client = new MongoClient(uri);

to:

const uri = "mongodb://0.0.0.0:27017/";
const client = new MongoClient(uri);

MongoDB seems to be not compatible with NodeJS v17. It should be listening on IPv6 "::1" by default and it would work with v17 without any problem. – TJJ Jan 05 '22 at 22:16

I noticed (with `ping localhost`) that the localhost of my freshly installed OS points to ::1 (which is ipv6) rather than 127.0.0.1 like it used to previously. That probably means that using `mongodb://localhost:27017/` probably will make node try to connect via ipv6, which mongo probably is not listening to. – tacone Jul 08 '22 at 08:31

I don't think `0.0.0.0` is the perfect solution, because IP `0.0.0.0` should/cannot be used as destination address (see [0.0.0.0](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/0.0.0.0)). Better use IP `127.0.0.1` or the real hostname or bind the IPv6 Address, see [Can't connect to MongoDB 6.0 Server locally using Nodejs driver](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/74609210/cant-connect-to-mongodb-6-0-server-locally-using-nodejs-driver/74610881#74610881) It also explains why `localhost` does not work – Wernfried Domscheit May 13 '23 at 08:58

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

Press the Windows + R keys on your keyboard to open the Run window. Type services.msc and hit Enter on your keyboard or click/tap the OK button. A new window opens up.
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.

For windows - just go to Mongodb folder (ex : C:\ProgramFiles\MongoDB\Server\3.4\bin) and open cmd in the folder and type "mongod.exe --dbpath c:\data\db"

if c:\data\db folder doesn't exist then create it by yourself and run above command again.

For Windows users.

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

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.
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)

If you already installed "MongoDB", if you accidentally exit from the MongoDB server, then "restart your system".

This method solved for me...

[On Windows only]

And also another method is there:

press:

Windows + R

type:

services.msc

and click "ok", it opens "services" window, and then search for "MongoDB Server" in the list. After you find "MongoDB Server", right-click and choose "start" from the pop-up menu.

The MongoDb Server will start running.

Hope it works!!

I debugged this same error on my own for over 5 hours. Eventually it worked out for me. Below is a check list of items to make sure they are correct before using Mongoose.

MongoDB is installed on your system
MongoDB is running as a service before you use 'npm run start'
The mongoose code does not have any syntax errors
Use promises (.then()) in the connect function for mongoose
If you are using 'localhost' in URL, try switching it with '0.0.0.0' or vice versa

Once you have done all this, run the command 'node run start' and hopefully this should work now. To verify, go to mongoDB and see the newly created database.

Below is a sample code for MongoDB and Mongoose that worked for me.

const mongoose = require('mongoose');

const myFunc = () => {
    const userSchema = mongoose.Schema({
        name: String
    });

    const User = mongoose.model("User", userSchema);

    const userObject = new User({
        name: 'Abhishek'
    });

    userObject.save((err, data) => {
        if (err)
            console.log('Error in saving = ' + err);
        if (data)
            console.log('Saved to DB = ' + data)
    }
    );
};

mongoose
    .connect("mongodb://0.0.0.0/userdb")
    .then(myFunc(), err => console.log(`Error = ${err}`));

I was having the same problem today.. and has been searching for answers.. I am on Ubuntu... however, I could not find the correct one that works on this thread.. after much research the following worked for me finally!! :)

First, after running

mongod dbpath

if appeared that mongodb was looking for the data/db directory.. which was missing in my installed mongodb app.. so I ran the following commands:

$ sudo mkdir -p /data/db

then run,

$ sudo chown -R $USER /data/db

chown - changes ownership of files/dirs. Ie. owner of the file/dir changes to the specified one, but it doesn't modify permissions. As detailed here: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/402062/how-are-chown-and-chmod-command-different-in-the-given-operation

Finally, run

`$ sudo systemctl enable mongod.service

It will give a message: Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/mongod.service → /lib/systemd/system/mongod.service and started the service.

I got this issue with Node.js v17 under Windows.
Found the issue open on mongoose github with some solutions: https://github.com/Automattic/mongoose/issues/10917

I had to either use 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost in the mongoose.connect function, which worked.

Or edit the config file with admin rights notepad. Open admin cmd, go to C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\5.0\bin folder, enter command notepad mongod.cfg then edit:

net:
  port: 27017
  ipv6: true

I had to remove bindIp: 127.0.0.1, leaving only port and ipv6, otherwise database wouldn't connect even with ipv6: true. Then restart mongodb service with windows task manager -> services -> mongodb, and using localhost would work.

Apparently using mongod://0.0.0.0:27017/ is not safe: mongodb.conf bind_ip = 127.0.0.1 does not work but 0.0.0.0 works

Then run the following commands.

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.

First, you need to start mongod service and then make connection. To do so, open your terminal (powershell in Windows) and write command mongod

Now connect using MongoDB compass it will work

Add family: 4 as a option.
family - Whether to connect using IPv4 or IPv6. This option is passed to Node.js' dns.lookup() function. If you don't specify this option, the MongoDB driver will try IPv6 first and then IPv4 if IPv6 fails. If your mongoose. connect(uri) call takes a long time, try mongoose.connect(uri, { family: 4 })

export const connectWithDb =()=>{
    mongoose.connect(uri,{ useNewUrlParser: true, useUnifiedTopology: true,family: 4}).then(db => console.log('DB is connected'))
    .catch(err => console.log(err));
}

I was facing the same ERROR.

connect ECONNREFUSED ::1:27017 Connection Failed!

Because I have updated my node version. I rollback to the last version of node.js then it worked for me.

// Connect to database
client.connect()

I had the same issue on Windows.

Ctrl+C to close mongod, and start mongod again.

Am not sure, but it seems that initially mongod was working opening and closing connections. Then, it was not able to close some earlier connections and reached limit for opened ones. After restarting mongod, it works again.

If you are a windows user, right click on Start and open Windows Powershell(Run as administartor). Then type

mongod

That's it. Your database will surely get connected!
