I am trying to connect to mongolab from terminal via below command
mongo ds061158.mongolab.com:61158/order_it -u <dbuser> -p <dbpassword>
I am getting the below error.
MongoDB shell version: 2.6.3
connecting to: ds061158.mongolab.com:61158/order_it
2014-07-09T13:52:44.890+0530 Error: couldn't connect to server ds061158.mongolab.com:61158 (23.22.170.205), connection attempt failed at src/mongo/shell/mongo.js:148
exception: connect failed
What has to be done in this case?
Thanks in Advance.
It looks like your network is blocking access to that port. I'd recommend contacting your network administrator or trying from a different network.
To test your network connectivity alone (no credentials necessary) you can run this command. This example was run from my unprivileged laptop just now and demonstrates a successful test.
% mongo ds061158.mongolab.com:61158
MongoDB shell version: 2.6.1
connecting to: ds061158.mongolab.com:61158/test
rs-ds061158:PRIMARY> db.runCommand({ping:1});
{ "ok" : 1 }
rs-ds061158:PRIMARY> exit
bye

I know this question is old, but in case someone still faces a similar issue, this is what helped me:
sudo rm /var/lib/mongodb/mongod.lock
sudo service mongodb restart
You should try to explicitly specify the port you want to use with the --port option:
mongo ds061158.mongolab.com/order_it --port 61158 -u <dbuser> -p <dbpassword>
From the mongo man pages:
--port <port>
Specifies the port where the mongod or mongos instance is listening. Unless specified mongo connects to mongod instances on port 27017, which is the default mongod port.

As it can be seen from the screenshot that the MongoDB shell is connected to the localhost. I want to connect it with an external replica set like this(given below) for my study purpose. But could not do so. Please suggest a way out.
"mongodb://m121:aggregations#cluster0-shard-00-00-jxeqq.mongodb.net:27017,cluster0-shard-00-01-jxeqq.mongodb.net:27017,cluster0-shard-00-02-jxeqq.mongodb.net:27017/aggregations?repilicaset=cluster0-shard-0" --authenticationDatabase admin --ssl -u m121 -p aggregations --norc
What IP-addresses mongod is listening? (mongod.conf, net.bindIp or net.bindIpAll)
If you don't have either there, then the system is listening only localhost address.

what OS are you using? In ubuntu you need to check your version:
service mongod status, mongod --version.
If mongod is off then just restart and write the error if possible.
service mongod restart
if you are using linux, try this command
$ sudo mongod
you are getting that because you are running
$ mongo
First go to your mongoDB directory and in that directory go to bin directory and open terminal in that directory(bin), then run the following command:
mongod.exe
After that open another terminal in same directory and run the following command.
mongo.exe
It will resolve this issue.
first you check it mongodb proper installed or not and also check it version compatibility
I am saying windows os setup,
set environment variable is path C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.6\bin;
then open your command prompt and type
mongod
after open another command prompt and type
mongo
A connection refused failure to connect reason may just be a matter of your network configuration and firewall or more specifically, your operating system's port restrictions. While you may be connecting to a mongoDB server on localhost (127.0.0.1) which can't be blocked by a firewall, it is possible for a firewall to block access to specific ports on a localhost.
If you're on a linux-based system, this can be addressed by using iptables as described here with the applicable commands shown below:
iptables -A INPUT -s 127.0.0.1 -p tcp --destination-port 27017 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A OUTPUT -d 127.0.0.1 -p tcp --source-port 27017 -m state --state ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
However, in reading the comments on another answer, it may be that you aren't able to connect because the server isn't being launched and ran properly due to a lack of of the /data/db directory. But, a presumption based on the lack of reply to other answers suggesting to check your server is running properly, tells me you're sure that it is. In which case, try changing your hostname to localhost instead of 127.0.0.1 when connecting, as in:
mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost:27017');
# or as more applicable for connecting to a deployment:
mongosh "mongodb://localhost:27017"
# alternatively, by default, MongoDB Shell already connects to localhost
# so you could simply use the command line option --port such as:
mongosh --port 27017
You can also try specifying more parameters in the url as it applies.
For example, connecting to an instance and authenticate against the foobar database as user rohan:
mongosh "mongodb://localhost:27017" --username rohan --authenticationDatabase foobar
To provide a password with the command instead of using the masked prompt, simply add the --password command line option.
For Windows, you may also try the solutions offered on this page.

This problem can happen when trying to connect to a database which requires SSL.
This error is usually caused by attempting to connect without SSL to a MongoDB server that requires it. Use the following command to connect:
mongo --ssl --username "$USERNAME" --password "$PASSWORD" --host "$HOST" --port "$PORT"
See Mongod logs to find the root cause. For me it was leaking connections from one of the clients, this is what I found in logs:
NETWORK [listener] connection refused because too many open connections:
(SSL causing the issue)
You can connect with it using this command :
mongo --host 127.0.0.1:27017 --tls --username fake --password fakepassword --authenticationDatabase admin --sslAllowInvalidHostnames
Disables the validation of the hostnames in TLS/SSL certificates.
Allows mongo to connect to MongoDB instances even if the hostname in
their certificates do not match the specified hostname.
Deprecated since version 4.2: Use --tlsAllowInvalidHostnames instead.
WARNING :
Although available, avoid using the --sslAllowInvalidCertificates
option if possible. If the use of --sslAllowInvalidCertificates is
necessary, only use the option on systems where intrusion is not
possible.
If mongosh (and other MongoDB Tools) runs with the
--sslAllowInvalidCertificates option, mongosh (and other MongoDB Tools) will not attempt to validate the server certificates. This
creates a vulnerability to expired mongod and mongos certificates as
well as to foreign processes posing as valid mongod or mongos
instances. If you only need to disable the validation of the hostname
in the TLS/SSL certificates, see --sslAllowInvalidHostnames.
See MongoDB official Doc
just go simply on task manager and click on service
see given image below to copy the link on the URL
find MongoDB and click on open Service.
see given image below to copy the link on the url
then again find MongoDB and start stopped DB to running mode just click on green point button and you MongoDB is again started connecting.

In my case , I was running several applications on other ports. The above solutions did not worked well for me .
Finally I closed all the tabs of code editor and web-app , and restarted it . Now it works fine .
Well! You can just restart the system, that will also work with least hassle.
As stated, this can happen because the server requires TLS in the connection. You will see the reason in server logs.
For someone who ends here without knowing how to fix it (like me) it's worth noting how to connect to those servers:
In command line you can use the --tls option (https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/configure-ssl-clients/)
mongo --tls [other params and/or connection string]
If using a connection string alone, you can add tls=true param:
mongo://[user]:[pass]#[host]/[db]?tls=true[&others]
I was getting error in the mongod logs that read
WiredTiger metadata corruption detected
To fix the error I did the following:
As per suggestion here I ran command mongod --dbpath /data/db --repair.
The logs from command above complained that my version of mongod was too recent (I was on 4.2.x) and I had to try on mongod 4.2 or earlier.
Downgraded to mongod 4.2
Ran command mongod --dbpath /data/db --repair again, and this fixed issue.
I do run mongod inside Docker, so I had to take an extra step to find out path of the mongo DB file, docker inspect <id of mongod container>, and grab the path from the HostConfig.Binds[0] property of the resulting JSON, and stick that in the --dbpath option of the repair command mongod --dbpath /data/db --repair
In my case it is net.maxIncomingConnections: 10 in the config file and MongoDB Compass.
All available connection slots the server has, are consumed by other clients and that causes new connection requests to just drop.
I was not aware that Compass would open so many connections. When I closed it, my problem was solved.
The default connection limit is 65536 as stated in config options
I don't know why this happens but sometimes my mongo instance fails to start properly. Just shutting it down and restarting it worked for me.
I have a Lightsail AWS instance up and running with a MEAN stack. I have an existing MEAN stack running on a different network. At the moment the node server.js connects to localhost for the mongo bit (on same machine) and all I want to do is replace the localhost with a connection to my mongo running on my AWS remote server.
I understand, that for security reasons, it is best to ssh tunnel this connection, which I think I am familiar with.
What I have done so far is this:
In a console on the machine hosting the node server (remote to the db) I have run:
ssh -L 8181:127.0.0.1:80 -i ~/LightsailDefaultPrivateKey-eu-west-2.pem bitnami#31.16.56.125 -N
I can then browse to the RockMongo UI from the local machine using localhost:8181/rockmongo ...yay.
If I then run the following:
ssh -L 8181:127.0.0.1:27017 -i ~/LightsailDefaultPrivateKey-eu-west-2.pem bitnami#31.16.56.125 -N
(27017 being the mongo port)
Then try and access the db from my remote machine using:
mongo --username XXXXXX --password XXXXXX 31.16.56.125:8181/testdata
I get the following error:
~]
2017-12-28T22:11:09.791+0000 Error: couldn't connect to server 31.16.56.125:8181 (31.16.56.125), connection attempt failed at src/mongo/shell/mongo.js:148
exception: connect failed
Am I doing this wrong? i.e. is the tunnel only for http connections and not mongo command line use? Do I need to test the connection some other way?
I've Googled all over the place for this and not had much luck (a lot of the AWS docs suggest punching a hole in the firewall - which one can no longer do!)
OK I've (partially) solved this, there were a few things wrong.
1) The mongo client was 2.6 and mongo running on AWS was 3.4. Upgrading this solved some issues - in that I was getting a more meaningful error message.
One thing I did have trouble with is that apt-get seemed to perform an update, yet the version reported when issuing the mongo command was still 2.6.
To solve this I had to run sudo apt-get purge mongodb-org* (note the asterisk). Then perform the update.... If you need to do this then follow these instructions:
https://docs.mongodb.com/v3.2/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-ubuntu/
2) This command
mongo --username XXXXXX --password XXXXXX 31.16.56.125:8181/testdata
won't work as I've omitted 'admin' from it and not specified localhost!
but
mongo admin --username XXXXXX --password XXXXXX localhost:8181/testdata
doesn't work either and gives the following output.

The only command I could get to work is:
mongo admin --username XXXXXX --password XXXXXX --port 8181
The default host is localhost, so in this case it uses the tunnel, this will also just connect to the test db, you can then admin from there.
What I haven't got to the bottom of is the specification of the host:port/db as an argument as per the output from running mongo --help

db address can be:

I am trying to connect to a mongodb database I installed on an Ubuntu VM on Microsoft Azure. I did the following:
Created virtual machine.
sudo apt-get mongodb (I connected to the VM with ssh).
Created an Endpoint on the Azure Management Portal with both public and private ports set to 27017.
When connected via ssh, running the mongo command allows me to view and access the data stored in the mongodb, but when done remotely, the connection fails with:
Sat Oct 11 13:34:08.378 JavaScript execution failed: Error: couldn't connect to server xxxxxx.cloudapp.net:27017 at src/mongo/shell/mongo.js:L114
I think I am missing something pretty basic here. Hopefully someone out there can help me?
It looks like mongo has some problems when connecting with a regular string. Might be related to this JIRA.
Try to connect with the following syntax: mongo -u <user> -p <password> hostIP:port/db
make sure you unbind the IP for connecting remotely to it by editing:
sudo vi /etc/mongod.conf
Set bind_ip=0.0.0.0
sudo service mongod restart
to test, use: `mongo SERVER-IP:27017/DBNAME -u DBUser -p DBPass
