It looks like you are trying to access mongodb over http on the native driver port. docker

I open terminal and enter the following commands

sudo mongod

which then outputs

[initandlisten] waiting for connections on port 27017

I open another terminal and enter

sudo mongo

which open the mongo shell and prompts for mongo commands, but when I go to localhost/27017 I receive the following message:

It looks like you are trying to access MongoDB over HTTP on the native driver port.

I created a simple nodejs application using express and when I POST data it seems the mongodb gets hung up. This is the message which I receive in the terminal in which I start my express application and the page never posts the data. So I believe the problem lies within mongo but I cannot figure it out.

POST /info 200 120002ms

Here is my express code

var Info = require('../models/info');
var path = require('path');
var fs = require('fs');
var join = path.join;

exports.form = function(req,res){

    res.render('info', {
        myName: 'Michael'
    });
};

exports.submit = function(){
console.log('Within exports.submit 1');
    return function(req,res,next){
        console.log('Within exports.submit 2 ');
        var firstName = req.name.first;
        var lastName = req.name.last;
        Info.create({
            firstName: firstName,
            lastName: lastName
        },function(err){
            if(err) return next(err);

            res.redirect('/')
        });
    }
};

Model

var mongoose = require('mongoose');
mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost/info');

var schema = new mongoose.Schema({
    firstName: String,
    lastName: String
});

module.exports = mongoose.model('info',schema);

app.js

...
app.get('/info',info.form);
app.post('/info',info.submit);
...

I was building a Meteor package and created a simple helper app (Meteor version 1.6.1.4) to run the package with while developing.

Suddenly I get this on the browser after a rebuild (approx. 500th rebuild in a row)

It looks like you are trying to access MongoDB over HTTP on the native driver port.

And that's it. No errors in the console, browser & meteor tool.

I have MONGO_URL set in my env vars, so I wasn't using the bundled MongoDB.

Killing and restarting meteor solved the issue, but I thought I'd bring this up just in case.

To access mongodb through a browser you should use the below-mentioned command:-

You may start mongodb with

mongod --httpinterface

And access it on

http://localhost:28017

Since version 2.6: MongoDB disables the HTTP interface by default.
