Pencilblue installation

Question

I am pretty new to mean stack development, but would like to learn. While trying to run pencilblue using pbctrl start, I get following error:

Can you please suggest what has been done wrong?

Answer 1

It looks like MongoDB isn't running. ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:27017 means that PencilBlue is trying to access MongoDB on localhost using port 27017. Ensure that MongoDB is running on that port and restart PencilBlue.
