Answer 1

Take in account that MongoDB should be running before issuing npm run dev.

You have to initialize database engine with mongod command first. Sometimes it's easy to forget this step.

Answer 2

I think your URL is not properly formatted,

use below URL

mongodb://localhost:27017/{DATABASE_NAME}

Answer 3

At first start your MongoDB on your local machine and connect it using localhost:27017. Also don't forget to use URL mongodb://localhost:27017/{DATABASE_NAME} in your code.

Answer 4

I think you need to install and run the MongoDB server on your machine.

Then try the below code in your program

mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost/myapp', { useNewUrlParser: true });

To check MongoDB service, you can follow in Task Manager service or running "mongo" command in Command Prompt.

Answer 5

I am using a tutorial on using the mongoDb, and I came accross this error. I am using Windows environments, so i just reinstalled my mongo community server. before i was just having the mongoDb compass without any server installed that would listening. It works.

Answer 6

Posting for future searchers, i was using docker-compose and i got this error. I was passing the user and the password by environment variables, and forgot to replicate it into docker-compose, so my variables were returning undefined.

If you got this error, you should verify if you're passing the variables into your .yml file to nodejs container.

i.e.:

node:
    image: "node:16.3.0"
    user: "node"
    working_dir: /home/node/app
    environment:
      - NODE_ENV=${NODE_ENV}
      - PORT=${PORT}
      - MONGO_USERNAME=${MONGO_USERNAME}
      - MONGO_PASSWORD=${MONGO_PASSWORD}

Answer 7

For Windows, Just repair from MongoDBCommunity Edition MSI Installer and connect via Compass or your Node JS application. Files might have gone corrupt.
