MongoDB does not start

Question

I am learning MongoDB and when I am trying to start mongoDb, it throws me the error below:

C:\Users\Mahadev>mongo
MongoDB shell version: 3.2.3
connecting to: test
2016-02-18T14:45:06.028+0530 W NETWORK  [thread1] Failed to connect to 127.0.0.1
:27017, reason: errno:10061 No connection could be made because the target machi
ne actively refused it.
2016-02-18T14:45:06.029+0530 E QUERY    [thread1] Error: couldn't connect to ser
ver 127.0.0.1:27017, connection attempt failed :
connect@src/mongo/shell/mongo.js:224:14
@(connect):1:6

exception: connect failed

How do I solve the error?

Start server first. https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-windows/#run-mongodb-community-edition — Alex Blex, Feb 18 '16 at 10:18

Try this,

What solved my issue was creating a file startmongo.conf that sets the bind_ipto 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

May this work

sudo mongod --repair
sudo mongod

(forget about service and start)

Then on a different tab/terminal:

mongo
