See the picture

You should add an entry uri into your ./config/environment/.../database.json

uri should be mongodb://<host>:<port>/<database name>

If you face this error while working with docker, Adding --network=host solves this problem. Keep in mind, use this solution only locally.

As described by docker itself,

--network="host" gives the container full access to local system services such as D-bus and is therefore considered insecure.

  1. Check is MongoDB instance is running
  2. Check in the settings that host is correct: ./config/environment/.../database.json. Usually in development is localhost

If this error happens again, then go with strapi console rather than strapi start

I faced the same problem but when I was installing it i used sudo and when i tried to start the strapi server without sudo it didn't work but when I used sudo npm run develop and it worked successfully
