MongoDB shell version v4.4.4 connecting to: mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/?compressors=disabled&gssapiServiceName=mongodb Error: couldn't connect to server 127.0.0.1:27017, connection attempt failed: SocketException: Error connecting to 127.0.0.1:27017 :: caused by :: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. : connect@src/mongo/shell/mongo.js:374:17 @(connect):2:6 exception: connect failed exiting with code 1
Solution for windows : The solution that worked for me is: Opened the Task Manager ( ctrl + shift + esc ) -> Services tab and there was a MongoDB row with the status stopped . Then I right-clicked and clicked start and everything worked perfectly 😀 https://stackoverflow.com/a/53635485/6393408
