could not connect to localhost:27017: [Errno 61] Connection refused

Hi everybody,

I am interested to build my own site by python and mongodb so I was following this tutorial...

Write a Tumblelog Application with Flask and MongoEngine

http://docs.mongodb.org/ecosystem/tutorial/write-a-tumblelog-application-with-flask-mongoengine/

and then got stuck pretty soon. ;(

When I proceeded to execute : 

$python manage.py shell 

I got error message as following:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "manage.py", line 6, in <module>

    from testCJL import app

  File "/**my_path**/__init__.py", line 8, in <module>

    db = MongoEngine(app)

  File "/**my_path**/[name_of_virtualenv]/lib/python2.7/site-packages/flask_mongoengine/__init__.py", line 32, in __init__

    self.init_app(app)

  File "/**my_path**/[name_of_virtualenv]/lib/python2.7/site-packages/flask_mongoengine/__init__.py", line 53, in init_app

    self.connection = mongoengine.connect(**conn_settings)

  File "/**my_path**/[name_of_virtualenv]//lib/python2.7/site-packages/mongoengine/connection.py", line 162, in connect

    return get_connection(alias)

  File "/**my_path**/[name_of_virtualenv]/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mongoengine/connection.py", line 125, in get_connection

    raise ConnectionError("Cannot connect to database %s :\n%s" % (alias, e))

mongoengine.connection.ConnectionError: Cannot connect to database default :

could not connect to localhost:27017: [Errno 61] Connection refused

Does anybody get idea about what's wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Did you start the server (mongod) and is it running on port 27017 (the default)?

Hi, I had a similar problem on Mongo 2.4.8 in production, it happened just after I upgraded from 2.4.7.

Restarting Mongo helped

Anyone solved this problem ? It is not related with "mongod" started or not. 

Thanks

This thread is 2 years old. Please start a new discussion and provide us with the exact details of the problem you are having, including any tracebacks.

Also, please make sure that you are using PyMongo <= 2.8 with MongoEngine as it does not yet support PyMongo 3.0.
