Fresh spring project failing to connect to Reactive mongo db

[bautistaba...@gmail.com]

Hello, 

I started a new Spring Webflux projected using spring initializr. I selected Reactive Mongo-DB and Webflux as my settings. When I start the server I get the following exception from the DB

As far as I understand, my mongo-db hasn't been configured correctly. I have tried doing it through my spring application's application.properties using 'spring.data.mongodb.uri=mongodb://localhost:27017/test' but have had no luck. Sorry for the nooby question but thank you for any responses.
