Solution 1

I got the same error this is how i solved it. open your task manager click on service tab check for Mongo Db service and right click restart it. hopefully this will solved it.

Solution 2

First, you should install Mongodb as a service,

• Open your cmd as admin
• Run ( net start mongodb )
• Now you can run the command ( mongo ) and you will be able to connect normally, with no Problem.

Solution 3

You have to start the server process first.
