MongoServerSelectionError: connect ECONNREFUSED ::1:27017 no solution

Question

I am getting the following error when trying to connect to a MongoDB server: I have checked the following:

• The MongoDB server is running and listening on port 27017.
• The client is using the correct connection string.
• The client is allowed to connect to the MongoDB server on port 27017.
• The firewall is not blocking connections to the MongoDB server.

I am still getting the error. Can anyone help me troubleshoot this?
