After I have started Mongo using mongod.exe on a Windows 7
machine, I tried to start the mongo shell that failed with the error:
Failed to connect to 127.0.0.1:27017, reason: errno:10061 No
connection could be made because the target machine actively refused
Error: couldn't connect to server 127.0.0.1:2.0.1),
connection attempt failed at src/mongo/shell/mongo.js:146 exception:
connect failed
In the CMD where I running the mongod the output is:
C:\Users\Vera>mongod --dbpath c:\mongodb\mongodata

Any suggestion how to fix this issue?

I got the same error and fixed it with:
1) mkdir c:\data
2) cd data
3) mongod -dbpath .
4) Now in another command window I was able to connect from my client using the mongo command.

I got this problem. What fixed mine is:
Suppose you have a dir: "C:\mongo_databse"
Open Command Prompt and type (suppose you haved added the Mongo bin directory to PATH): mongod --dbpath=C:/mongo_database.
There will be some log to the command prompt.
Now open ANOTHER command prompt then type in mongo then it works.
What solved my issue was creating a file startmongo.conf
that sets the bind_ip to 127.0.0.1 . After that, I just created a *.bat to start the mongo using something like:
mongod --config c:\mongodb\bin\startmongo.conf
More details could be seem at this .
I assume your mongo.config file to be located inside the mongodb folder in the same level to the bin directory.The contents of the mongo.config file are:
dbpath=C:\mongodb\data
logpath=C:\mongodb\log\mongo.log
don't forget to create the data folder and log folder in the same level of bin directory
inside log folder
create the mongo.log empty file.
Point your command prompt to C:\mongodb\bin wherever
your mongo db bin folder is located.
create the mongo db service in windows
mongod.exe --storageEngine=mmapv1 --config=../mongo.config
from now unwards you can start the mongo db service as
net start mongodb
finally you can connect to the mongo db server from the mongo db client
have gone successfully from step 1 to step 3 from the next time on wards you only need the step 4 and 5.to start the service and to connect.
I got this error beacuse of not sufficient space in the disk.
Check your mongo log.
I was getting a similar error when I was trying to start my mongo db via cmd. However the difference was I had a config file which has the path to the db and log folders and wanted to use the same. I was using mongo few days back and it was running fine but when I started using it again today it was giving me the error :
T10:33:22.820-0400 I CONTROL
Hotfix KB2731284 or later update is
installed, no need to zero-out data files
MongoDB shell version: 3.0.2
connecting to: test
T10:33:23.854-0400 W NETWORK
Failed to connect to 27.0.0.1:27017, reason: errno:10061 No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.
T10:33:23.857-0400 E QUERY
Error: couldn't connect to server 127.0.0.1:2.0.1), connection attempt failed at connect src/mongo/shell/mongo.js:179:14) at (connect):1:6 at src/mongo/shell/mongo.js:179 exception: connect failed
Here's how I fixed it :
Open cmd as admin and navigate to the bin folder of your MongoDB and type :
mongod --config &path to your config file& --install
Now start your mongo db service : net start mongodb
you should get a message which says :
The MongoDB service was started successfully.
close this command prompt and open another one as admin, navigate to the bin folder once again and type mongo
This will connect you to the mongodb test.
Press ctrl+c anytime to exit.
Hope this helps.
I had a very similar experience to @user1501382, but tweaked everything slightly in accordance with
1) cd c: //changes to C drive
2) mkdir data //creates directory data
3) cd data
4) mkdir db //creates directory db
5) cd db //changes directory so that you are in c:/data/db
6) run mongod -dbpath
7) close this terminal, open a new one and run mongod
2,86722242
for mongodb 3.0 versions use "--smallfiles".
mongod --dbpath="C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.0" --logpath="C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.0\data\log.txt" --smallfiles --install
