MongoNetworkError: failed to connect to server MongoNetworkError: connect ECONNREFUSED

Hi Guys ,

You might have faced an error like MongoNetworkError: failed to connect to server [localhost:27017] on first connect [MongoNetworkError: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:27017]

We generally face this error when the database server is down , if you bring the database server up you will not face this error .

The full error is as follows :


(node:15564) DeprecationWarning: current URL string parser is deprecated, and will be removed in a future version. To use the new parser, pass option { useNewUrlParser: true } to MongoClient.connect.
F:\\study\nodejs\node_modules\mongodb\lib\topologies\server.js:240
            throw err;
            ^

The code snipped to connect to mongo db is as follows :

	var mongo = require('mongodb');
	var url = "mongodb://localhost:27017/qanda";
	mongo.MongoClient.connect(url, function(err, db) {
	if (err) throw err;
	console.log("Database created!");
	db.close();
	});
