Cannot access mongodb through browser – It looks like you are trying to access MongoDB over HTTP on the native driver port

18

I open terminal and enter the following commands

sudo mongod

which then outputs

[initandlisten] waiting for connections on port 27017

I open another terminal and enter

sudo mongo

which open the mongo shell and prompts for mongo commands, but when I go to localhost/27017 I receive the following message:

It looks like you are trying to access MongoDB over HTTP on the native driver port.

I created a simple nodejs application using express and when I POST data it seems the mongodb gets hung up. This is the message which I receive in the terminal in which I start my express application and the page never posts the data. So I believe the problem lies within mongo but I cannot figure it out.

POST /info 200 120002ms

Here is my express code

var Info = require('../models/info');
var path = require('path');
var fs = require('fs');
var join = path.join;

exports.form = function(req,res){

    res.render('info', {
        myName: 'Michael'
    });
};

exports.submit = function(){
console.log('Within exports.submit 1');
    return function(req,res,next){
        console.log('Within exports.submit 2 ');
        var firstName = req.name.first;
        var lastName = req.name.last;
        Info.create({
            firstName: firstName,
            lastName: lastName
        },function(err){
            if(err) return next(err);

            res.redirect('/')
        });
    }
};

Model

var mongoose = require('mongoose');
mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost/info');

var schema = new mongoose.Schema({
    firstName: String,
    lastName: String
});

module.exports = mongoose.model('info',schema);

app.js

...
app.get('/info',info.form);
app.post('/info',info.submit);
