MongoDB: Not working in windows

Question

MongoDB is not connecting to the data bases. I added the path. Whenever I run mongo it attempts to connect to test byt fails.

Error:

No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it

Couldn't connect to the server 127.0.0.1:27017

Someone please help me!

i mean, do you have an active terminal with `mongod.exe` running? — Nhor, Nov 17 '15 at 13:23
