Can't use and connect to MongoDB-CodePudding

So, I am building a small URL shortener project with js, express, and MongoDB but, I got errors when I'm trying to run my local server and I can't connect to MongoDB! This is my code:

const express = require('express')
const mongoose = require('mongoose')
const ShortUrl = require('./models/shortUrl')
const app = express();

mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost/urlShortener', {
useNewUrlParser: true, useUnifiedTopology: true
})

app.set('view engine', 'ejs')
app.use(express.urlencoded({ extended: false}))

app.get('/', async (req, res) => {
const shortUrls = await ShortUrl.find()
res.render('index', { shortUrls: shortUrls })
});

app.post('/shortUrls', async (req, res) => {
await ShortUrl.create({ full: req.body.fullUrl })

res.redirect('/')
})

app.get('/:shortUrl', async (req, res) => {
const shortUrl = await ShortUrl.findOne({ short: req.params.shortUrl })
if (shortUrl == null) return res.sendStatus(404)

shortUrl.clicks  
shortUrl.save()

res.redirect(shortUrl.full)
})


app.listen(process.env.PORT || 5000);

And this is the full log:

Thank u guys =)

I was trying to start the small URL-shortener project that I wrote in js, express, and MongoDB but, the problem is that I can't connect to my MongoDB database :(

CodePudding user response：

I solved the problem, so, I replaced localhost with 127.0.0.1 in the connection string and now my problem is solved! it is because of some ipv6 configurations... Thank u :)
