MongoDB 6.0.x - No longer runs on macOS Ventura 13.1 or 13.2 - mongodb

Question

Just upgraded (14.12.2022) to macOS Ventura 13.1 (22C65).
Using Mongo on /usr/local/Cellar/mongodb-community/6.0.1/bin:
brew services restart mongodb-community#6.0
Stopping `mongodb-community`... (might take a while)
==> Successfully stopped `mongodb-community` (label: homebrew.mxcl.mongodb-community)
==> Successfully started `mongodb-community` (label: homebrew.mxcl.mongodb-community)
Then I run "mongosh":
mongosh
Now gives:
Current Mongosh Log ID: 6399ebcbf7b524ab8380978a
Connecting to: mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/?directConnection=true&serverSelectionTimeoutMS=2000&appName=mongosh+1.6.1
MongoNetworkError: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:27017
Also unable to use: MongoDB Compass or Studio 3T.
Was working fine before I upgraded macOS Ventura 13.0.1 -> 13.1. TIA.

BTW - Had to move back to "mongodb-community/5.0.7":
cd /usr/local/Cellar/mongodb-community/5.0.7/bin
./mongod --repair --dbpath /usr/local/var/mongodb --storageEngine wiredTiger
...
./mongod --config /usr/local/etc/mongod.conf
Then works:
./mongo

Enable MongoDB's free cloud-based monitoring service, which will then receive and display
metrics about your deployment (disk utilization, CPU, operation statistics, etc).
The monitoring data will be available on a MongoDB website with a unique URL accessible to you
and anyone you share the URL with. MongoDB may use this information to make product
improvements and to suggest MongoDB products and deployment options to you.
To enable free monitoring, run the following command: db.enableFreeMonitoring()
To permanently disable this reminder, run the following command: db.disableFreeMonitoring()

Just noticed on ‘brew’ that MongoDB 6.0.1 can be upgraded to → 6.0.3 (20.12.22).
brew unpin mongodb-community

Obviously a bug with MongoDB on macOS. The two upgrads of 6.01 to 6.0.2/6.0.3 fixes:
brew services restart mongodb/brew/mongodb-community
Stopping `mongodb-community`... (might take a while)
==> **Successfully stopped `mongodb-community` (label: homebrew.mxcl.mongodb-community)**

(23/01/2023):
Just upgrade Intel macOS to 13.2 & 'mongodb-community' fails to run 6.0.3.
brew services restart mongodb/brew/mongodb-community

Answer 2

For anyone else finding this thread and still having issues with an M1 Mac, be sure Homebrew is properly (re)installed.
Homebrew uses different directories on M1 (/opt/homebrew) than Intel. And even though Brew won't complain, mongosh won't start if Brew was installed in the old intel directories and therefore mongo was installed in the wrong place as well.
See this post for details on how to properly install Homebrew on M1
then follow the official MongoDB install here and mongosh will properly connect.
