MongooseServerSelectionError: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:27017

[Benaiah_Varner]

Hello, I am having trouble getting connected to my localhost MongoDB on Mac OS. I have read through countless forums and tried everything to get mongod and the mongodb-community server started, but nothing has worked. The error I am getting is below:

  const serverSelectionError = new ServerSelectionError();
                           ^

MongooseServerSelectionError: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:27017`

Can anyone help me with this please?

Is your mongod up and running on port 27017?
Can you connect by another tool like shell or Compass?

i have the same problem only when connecting in my nodejs app, but when connecting using shell or Compass there is no problem,

I just found a solution in the internet ,
If you are using latest nodejs (v17.x) , then try updating mongodb url from localhost to 127.0.0.1

This worked for me
