Make sure your MongoDB database is running

Mongod & mongo is running

Answer 1

Go to your project file. go to the config/environments/development folder and click on database.json. for username and password you leave it empty. and host you put 127.0.0.1 port: 27017 as in the picture

if you have finished the modifications you open two terminal: on the first you start mongoDB by doing:

mongod

and once mongoDB has started you start on the other console strapi by making:

strapi start or npm start
