Question

install nodejs with mongodb and node js run but mongo db establish connect test and then some error network failed

$ mongo

errno:10061 No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.

Answer 1

Your using the wrong executable. Instead of mongo use mongod - it starts the mongo server. mongo is for editing/adding stuff to the database from the console. You don't need it. For node all you need is mongod

Example: cd mongodb > mongod

If error message comes up about data/db not set, add a folder called data with a subfolder db in C/
