I'm on the MacOS Sierra ver 10.12.6, and installed via homebrew. When I run mongo, I've got following error.
MongoDB shell version v3.4.9 connecting to: mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017 2017-09-15T15:55:26.489+0900 W NETWORK [thread1] Failed to connect to 127.0.0.1:27017, in(checking socket for error after poll), reason: Connection refused 2017-09-15T15:55:26.489+0900 E QUERY [thread1] Error: couldn't connect to server 127.0.0.1:27017, connection attempt failed : connect@src/mongo/shell/mongo.js:237:13 @(connect):1:6 exception: connect failed
I've read other threads of the same/similar problems, and tried several suggestions but it doesn't work...

19,548 PointsAfter the post, I carefully read the error. Then I noticed it complained about the permission so I tried sudo and it worked! Thanks for your suggestion!
