mongo db cannot start

After calling command mongodb.exe the error message says:

Could not connect to 127.0.0.1:27017, reason: errno:10061 No connection can be made because the target machine actively refused it. Blockquote

I wonder how to deal with this.

Try to add configuration path like this:

To start the server :

C:\mongodb\bin\mongod.exe --dbpath "path_to_directory_to store_data"

And to connect to Mongo:

C:\mongodb\bin\mongo.exe

If this doesnt work try apply this method:

or try this:

MongoDB on a Windows 7 machine: No connection could be made

The error you are getting suggests you are running the shell (mongo.exe) rather than the database (mongod.exe). The shell will, by default, attempt to connect to the database - in other words it will essentially do what you state you wish to do with python.

You can either run the mongod.exe manually with appropriate options, or you can install it as a service. In either case, there are detailed instructions on how to do this here:
