Pymongo keeps refusing the connection at 27017

Question

I am trying to run a simple connection to pymongo but it keeps returning that the connection was refused

Here is what I tried:

>>>from pymon         


        

Answer 1

Rather than deleting mongod.lock, I'd recommend running 'mongod --repair'. (I figure it's better to go in through the front door whenever possible. And there may be other things that this catches as well, AFAIK.)

Answer 2

Just try following commands in given order :

sudo rm /var/lib/mongodb/mongod.lock

sudo mongod --repair

sudo service mongodb start

sudo service mongodb status

That's it now you could see following as output of last command:

mongodb start/running, process 2796

Answer 3

It looks like you might not be running the MongoDB server. One thing that frequently trips me up is that if the server was shut down uncleanly, it will refuse to start up again until you remove the mongod.lock file from the data directory.
