This is what I get when I run service mongod status:

However whenever I run my server
sudo node server.js
I get the following error message:
MongoError: failed to connect to server [soren_site:27017] on first connect

I connect to my server in the following way:
mongoose.connect('mongodb://soren_site');
What am I doing wrong?
Output of mongod:

This looks like hostname resolving issue.
Make sure the hostname you pass in connection string is resolvable.
Also, if not found, you may need to add entry to your /etc/hosts
Hope this helps
