I know I'm doing some very stupid and noobish, but I'm hoping someone can help me set up a basic database connection to mongodb from node.js on a mac.
I've installed mongodb using homebrew, seems to have worked quite well. I have started the server (mongod) as the locally logged in user, and opened a second terminal and confirmed that I can connect to it by using mongo. When I run mongo I get the message "connecting to: localhost:27017/test" followed by a command prompt. Ran a few commands in the mongo shell everything seems to be working there. Left both terminals open and running.
I've also confirmed that I can reach the web interface at localhost:28017.
I installed node.js and added the mongoose package. Now attempting to connect using a super simple node.js app (also running as locally logged in user):
var mongoose = require('mongoose');
mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost/test');
I receive the following error
events.js:72
throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
^
Error: connect ECONNREFUSED
at errnoException (net.js:901:11)
at Object.afterConnect [as oncomplete] (net.js:892:19)
Banging my head against the wall trying to get something so simple to work. What am I missing?
Edit: Here are the logs from mongod. As you can see I tried multiple times and they're all failing rather instantaneously:
